Phobias

Phobias are quite common and occur in more than one in every 10 Canadians.
There are 4 main types of phobias:
animal type (e.g., spiders, dogs, and rodents)
natural environment type (e.g., storms, lightening, and water)
blood-injection-injury type (e.g., seeing blood, getting a needle, having a medical procedure)
and situational type (e.g., enclosed places, flying, driving).
Phobias that do not fit into these four categories fall into a fifth category referred to as "other type" (e.g., fears of choking or vomiting).

Blood-injection-injury and animal phobias typically begin in early childhood whereas situational and natural environment phobias begin later, usually in the late teens and 20s. Approximately 75% of individuals with a blood-injection-injury phobia report a history of fainting in response to the phobic stimulus.
