Everywhere we can see some kind of phobia or fear affected people. If we see the list of phobias, it is quite big and we can't imagine that people are afraid of these things. But reality is, there are 8 to 18% of people from US affected by some kind of phobias.
But as per my personal experience, the medicine for phobia is the same phobia stimuli object or situation itself. For example, i was Aquaphobia — fear of water, when i was kid. My dad one day took me to a pool and just pushed me into water. What a surprise? my phobia was gone and i learnt swimming within 2-3 days by myself.
But there are some phobias we can't do anything. There is one peculiar phobia is Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia — fear of the number 666. Another one is Paraskavedekatriaphobia, Friggatriskaidekaphobia — fear of Friday the 13th.
I think i can't prounce them correctly or write them without typo in my life time.
As technology improves, this new phobias list also growing. A new kind of phobia is Nomophobia — fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
Other interesting and worth to mention phobias are
Xenophobia — fear of strangers, foreigners, or aliens.
Taphophobia — fear of the grave, or fear of being placed in a grave while still alive.
Panphobia — fear of everything or constantly afraid without knowing what is causing it
Coulrophobia — fear of clowns
