How do people deal with acrophobia?

Get treated: You could see a therapist for treatment -- cognitive behavioral therapy with gradual desensitization is the usual approach for a phobia like this. Some research is also being done with d-cycloserine in such disorders, but the results are equivocal. A psychiatrist could prescribe other medications if needed.

CBT for some works: In contrast to other forms of psychotherapy, cognitive therapy is usually more focused on the present, more time-limited, and more problem-solving oriented. In addition, patients learn specific skills that they can use for the rest of their lives. These skills involve identifying distorted thinking, modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, and changing behaviors.
