A phobia (say: of-bee-uh) is
the fancy name for a fear. But a phobia isn't just any kind of fear. It's
normal for kids to be afraid of things — like taking a
hard test at school, passing a growling dog on the street, or hearing a huge
clap of thunder.
A phobia is different because it is an
extremely strong fear of a situation or thing. It is also a kind of fear that
doesn't go away. Kids who have a phobia will be afraid of something every time
they see or experience it. They won't just be afraid once or twice. Kids who
have phobias often go out of their way to avoid the situation or thing that
scares them.
That's why Marisa had to take the stairs. She
has a phobia of being in closed-in spaces and was too scared to take the
elevator. Sometimes, when forced to face what's scary, a kid with a phobia
might get very nervous and have a panic attack.
Panic attacks can be really scary and may make
someone shake, sweat, and breathe quickly. Some people who have panic attacks
might have chest pains, feel dizzy, or feel like their hearts are pounding and
they can't breathe.
A panic attack can cause a kid to think
something awful is going to happen, that he or she can't escape or might lose
control. Some kids who have panic attacks say that when the attacks are
happening, they feel like they can't think straight or that they're "going
crazy."
Panic attacks only last a short time. But to
somebody who is having one, they can feel much longer. Sometimes, even a kid
who knows that the phobia doesn't make sense may not be able to stop the mind
and body from reacting and having a panic attack.
