Fears/Phobias
Fear is part of our natural defence system, e.g. when crossing a busy road or climbing a ladder, ect. But when that fear becomes overwhelming and out of proportion to the situation it becomes an irrational fear – a phobia.
Common fears and phobias include Flying, Driving, Heights, Animals, Insects, Public Speaking, Medical and Dental treatment, Spiders, Open Spaces, Enclosed Spaces, School Attendance, and many, many more.
Amourophobia is the most common phobia with the vast majority of the population suffering at some time in their life: -

Common addictions include Smoking, Nail-biting, Alcohol, Gambling, Shopping, Foods, Sweets (chocolate, etc.), Prescription Drugs (Painkillers, Tranquillisers, etc.), Illegal Drugs (Heroin, Cocaine, etc.), and many more.
