The Severity Measure for Specific Phobias test is developed by the American Psychiatric Association to assess the severity of symptoms relating to specific phobias.
Phobias are anxiety disorders characterized by persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation. While there are hundreds of phobias, these can be classified into 3 main types: social phobias (fear of interacting with other people), agoraphobia (fear of social situations), and specific phobias (such as fear of animals or insects, claustrophobia, medical procedures or needles).
Phobias are one of the most common mental conditions, with 1 in 12 people suffering from one or more phobias. Phobias can severely impact your mental and emotional wellbeing, causing distress, panic attacks, extreme fear, and irrational action.
Take this short 5-minute test to see if you are suffering from severe Phobia, and learn what actions you can take to reduce your symptoms.
