Phobia
A phobia (from the
Greek φόβος "Phobos" meaning Fear), is an irrational, persistent
fear of certain situations, objects, activities, or persons. The main symptom of this
disorder is the excessive, unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. When the fear is beyond one's control, or if the fear is interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis under one of the
anxiety disorders can be made.

The
English suffixes -phobia, -phobic, -phobe (of
Greek origin: φόβος/φοβία ) occur in technical usage in
psychiatry to construct words that describe irrational, disabling
fear as a mental disorder (e.g.,
agoraphobia), in
chemistry to describe chemical aversions (e.g.,
hydrophobic), in
biology to describe organisms that dislike certain conditions (e.g.,
acidophobia), and in
medicine to describe hypersensitivity to a stimulus, usually sensory (e.g.,
photophobia). In common usage they also form words that describe dislike or hatred of a particular thing or subject. The suffix is
antonymic to
