Acrophobia
Acrophobia is basically the fear of height. It is affecting more than 20 million people around the country and can result in avoidance of these high spots or anxiety attacks. People with this condition tend to choose great lengths instead of high areas such as high-rise buildings, towers, or bridges. While it might come from traumatic experiences in some cases, recent studies suggest that this fear might have gradually evolved as the adaptation to a setting in which falls from heights led to a considerable danger. Of course, many normal people might have some degree of fright when dealing with heights, acrophobia involves a more serious fear which could result in avoidance behaviors and panic attacks. [3]
