Patient Comments: Phobias

Cause

I have an extreme phobia of dogs.

Ever since I was bitten on the arm

by a 150lb great dane, I've feared

and hated dogs. Just the sight of a

dog is enough to put me in a panic

attack.

I have an extreme fear of snakes. Just thinking of a situation

or presence of a snake will normally put me into a panic

attack. Honestly, I think it stemmed from an episode of

South Park when I was little and flipping through the

channels, and a cartoon snake swallowed a whole cartoon

person, but I'm not sure if that's quite it

I'm really scared of clowns, the

phobia started after a random

dream about a clown trying to kill

me, and since they have just

freaked me out.
