Fears or phobias, as we clinically call them, would respond well to cognitive behavioral therapy, and use of medications depends on the profile. For phobias, anti-anxiety medications and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are used, but they should be used only if prescribed by a psychiatrist.
