- It is no wonder that I receive dozens of questions concerning panic
- attacks and phobias, when you consider that an estimated 14 to 24 million
- Americans suffer from phobias at some point in their lives. Phobias are
- unreasonable fears of such aspects of everyday life as flying, tunnels,
- elevators, automobiles, crowds or heights. The terrors experienced by many
- actually keep them prisoners in their own homes. But a free booklet "Phobic
- and Panic Disorders: Getting Help" may now be obtained from the Phobia
- Society of America. It explains phobias and panic attacks, discusses causes
- and treatments, and provides a plan for help that is available and effective.
- You may obtain your copy by writing to Phobia Society of America, Booklet,
- P.O. Box 42514, Washington, D.C. 20015-0514. Post Cards only please, and be
- sure to legibly write your name and complete address.
