Question 2

for something to be considered a phobia, must that fear always be severe?

Accepted Answer

I believe: The fear has only to be sufficient to create a barrier to the person willingly exposing themselves to the phobia-object. I believe it is the avoidance that serves as the crux of the diagnosis. If the fear is less severe, it should be easier to progress in most therapies that require toleration of the fear/anxiety to allow greater freedom of movement to the person. Take care, best wishes!

Question 3

could fears and phobias be linked to a food allergy/intolerance?

Accepted Answer

So the best defense is to carry Epipen (epinephrine) with you all the time, this is your insurance policy. You may never need it but is there if you do.
