Prevalence
The lifetime prevalence of simple phobias is:
- 40-150 per thousand men
- 90-260 per thousand women
Only a small proportion of sufferers seek medical advice; when they do consult a doctor it is often because the phobia has interfered with a lifestyle change, for example a promotion at work requires international travel.
