Specific phobias are intense, irrational fears of specific objects or situations.

• A. Specific Phobias
• B. GAD
• C. Panic Attack
• D. OCD

Answer: (A)

Specific phobias are a type of anxiety disorder characterized by an intense, irrational fear focused on a particular object or situation, leading to avoidance and distress. This fear is disproportionate to the actual danger and persists when exposed to the trigger, impairing functioning. Generalized anxiety disorder involves ongoing worry about many areas of life, not just one trigger. A panic attack is a sudden surge of fear with physical symptoms that can occur in various contexts, not necessarily tied to a single object. OCD features intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to reduce anxiety, rather than a simple fear of a specific object.
