Fobia
Fobia (gangguan anxietas fobik) adalah rasa ketakutan yang berlebihan pada sesuatu hal atau fenomena. Fobia bisa dikatakan dapat menghambat kehidupan orang yang mengidapnya. Bagi sebagian orang, perasaan takut seorang pengidap fobia sulit dimengerti. Itu sebabnya, pengidap tersebut sering dijadikan bulan bulanan oleh teman sekitarnya. Ada perbedaan "bahasa" antara pengamat fobia dengan seorang pengidap fobia. Pengamat fobia menggunakan bahasa logika sementara seorang pengidap fobia biasanya menggunakan bahasa rasa. Bagi pengamat dirasa lucu jika seseorang berbadan besar, takut dengan hewan kecil seperti kecoak atau tikus. Sementara di bayangan mental seorang pengidap fobia, subjek tersebut menjadi benda yang sangat besar, berwarna, sangat menjijikkan ataupun menakutkan.
Dalam keadaan normal setiap orang memiliki kemampuan mengendalikan rasa takut. Akan tetapi bila seseorang terpapar terus menerus dengan subjek Fobia, hal tersebut berpotensi menyebabkan terjadinya fiksasi. Fiksasi adalah suatu keadaan dimana mental seseorang menjadi terkunci, yang disebabkan oleh ketidak-mampuan orang yang bersangkutan dalam mengendalikan perasaan takutnya. Penyebab lain terjadinya fiksasi dapat pula disebabkan oleh suatu keadaan yang sangat ekstrem seperti trauma bom, terjebak lift dan sebagainya.

Phobia
In clinical psychology, a phobia is a type of anxiety disorder, usually defined as a persistent fear of an object or situation in which the sufferer commits to great lengths in avoiding, typically disproportional to the actual danger posed, often being recognized as irrational. In the event the phobia cannot be avoided entirely, the sufferer will endure the situation or object with marked distress and significant interference in social or occupational activities.
The terms distress and impairment as defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR) should also take into account the context of the sufferer's environment if attempting a diagnosis. The DSM-IV-TR states that if a phobic stimulus, whether it be an object or a social situation, is absent entirely in an environment — a diagnosis cannot be made. An example of this situation would be an individual who has a fear of mice (Suriphobia) but lives in an area devoid of mice. Even though the concept of mice causes marked distress and impairment within the individual, because the individual does not encounter mice in the environment no actual distress or impairment is ever experienced. Proximity and the degree to which escape from the phobic stimulus is impossible should also be considered.
