4. Claustrophobia (Fear of Small Spaces)
Claustrophobia is the fear of confined or enclosed spaces, often leading to panic attacks in elevators, airplanes, or even small rooms. This phobia can severely limit daily activities.
Overcoming claustrophobia typically involves exposure therapy, where individuals progressively spend time in smaller spaces to lessen their anxiety. Breathing exercises and mindfulness techniques can also be valuable tools for managing symptoms.
