How does someone get a phobia?
It is thought that for someone to get such an uncontrollable
fear of something, environmental and genetic factors play a part. Although many
people have phobias, it is still not known what exactly causes someone to have
phobias. Phobias are related to anxiety as a phobia is an irrational fear of a
certain stimuli. According to the National Phobics Society what may cause
phobias to develop is stress, childhood environment, genetic predispositions,
physical factors and even biochemical imbalances. It has been found that the
weirdest phobias that some may have, have been caused by stress and the more
common phobias may be caused due to childhood environment. Although this

them due to certain factors and these are out of people’s control when it comes
