Specializes in Pediatrics - Developmental and Behavioral

Vehophobia, fear of : driving, is divided into 3 different categories, so first seek a specific diagnosis from a psychiatrist & a psychologist. If it is a specific phobia related to your Panic Disorder, systematic desensitization done in virtual or real-life situations may be very effective. Adjunctive anti-anxiety medications managed by a psychiatrist may also help you a great deal, especially as you begin therapy.
