SPECIFIC PHOBIA
Characterized by unwarranted
fears of specific objects or situations, specific phobia requires the
following criteria be met (patients under the age of 18 must have the
symptoms for six months or longer):
|
| • |
The
patient has a strong, persistent fear that is excessive or unreasonable
and which is set off by a specific object or situation (present or
anticipated) |
| • |
The
phobic stimulus almost always immediately provokes anxiety either
as a panic attack or just symptoms of anxiety |
| • |
The
fear is unreasonable or out of proportion and the patient is aware
of this. |
| • |
The
patient either avoids the phobic stimulus or endures it with severe
anxiety or distress. |
| • |
Either
there is marked distress about the fear or it markedly interferes
with the patient's usual routines or social, job or personal functioning.
|
| • |
Other
mental disorders don't explain the symptoms better |
