Phobia ordinary high age – Sydsvenskan

– Though they are rarer when you are older, this is very common even among younger, says Robert Sigström.

His thesis shows on the incidence decreases from the 70s onwards, although the problems often affect their lives.

Despite this, there are very few who seek treatment and the question is why.

– A potential explanation may be that even if it affects the lives it affects not so much that you feel you need treatment, says Sigström.

– Another might be to think that so here I am and you do not even think the idea of ​​getting rid of it, moreover, one can see the avoidance as a way to deal with fear.

HH: But you think you ought to search for help?

– Absolutely.

– A treatment in which gradually expose themselves for what they are afraid of in a controlled manner can have very good effect.
