Arachnophobia
Arachnophobia, otherwise known as spider phobia, is the intenst fear of spiders and other arachnids.
- Classified as a specific phobia, arachnophobia causes clinically significant distress that can impact an individual's quality of life.
- When in contact with, or thinking about arachnids, individuals will likely feel fear and experience symptoms of anxiety almost immediately.
Keep in mind that while the fear of spiders is common, not every person who feels afraid or on edge around them has arachnophobia.
