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.
