Fears

Researches have shown that phobia sufferers constitute the largest group of sufferers of chronic anxiety attacks. In the States alone, there are more than 23 million Americans who suffer from anxiety disorders so severe that they have an impaired ability to function. Eighty percent of them are women.
Heinrich Heine University, in Dusseldorf conducted a research on people who suffer from arachnophobia, the irrational fear for arthropods (spiders, scorpions, ticks and mites). The researcher's original goal was to find out whether it is possible to induce nightmares to people just by projecting a certain film. Forty people participated. They were asked to watch a documentary and write down their reactions, feelings and thoughts on a piece of paper answering to some specific psychological questions which would help scientists and psychologists find out more about what causes these phobias.
