I have conducted a question of "How does psychology explain the effects of phobias on an individual?". It would be such a great help if any of you could take a minute to answer a couple, if not several or all of these questions below.</P> <P>1. Are phobias a common occurrence? </P> <P>2. What are the physical symptoms? </P> <P>3. Are there any symptoms that are a rare side effect of a phobia that you know of or may experience?</P> <P> 4. How are phobias formed? How did yours start? <SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">Is it hereditary or an evolved childhood fear? </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">5. How do phobias physically impair someone? </SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">6. Are phobias common? Do you know anyone else with a phobia?</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">7. How do phobias differ from everyday fear?</SPAN></P> <P><SPAN style="font-size: inherit;">8.
