The Fear of Heights

Most people are afraid of heights. This fear is known as acrophobia. It is an irrational fear that can cause great anxiety and even panic. People with acrophobia may avoid high places, or they may feel uneasy and uncomfortable when they are in them. In severe cases, the fear can be debilitating. There are a number of possible causes of acrophobia. It may be a learned response, perhaps due to a traumatic experience or witnessing someone else’s fear. It may also be an innate fear, meaning that some people are simply born with it. There is also a genetic component to the fear of heights. Studies have shown that acrophobia runs in families.

There are a number of ways to treat acrophobia. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is often successful in helping people to overcome their fear. This type of therapy works by helping the individual to change the way they think about heights. They may also be exposed to gradually increasing levels of height in a controlled and safe environment.

Others may benefit from talking to a counselor or therapist about their fear. In severe cases, medication may be necessary to help the individual to cope with their fear.
