Back to Phobias

In some cases, a fear or hatred is not considered a phobia in the clinical sense because it is believed to be only a symptom of other psychological problems, or the result of ignorance, or of political or social beliefs. These are phobias in a more general, popular sense of the word:

• Afrophobia, fear or dislike of Africans or African culture or people of African ancestry
• Islamophobia, fear or dislike of Muslims or Islamic culture
• Homophobia, fear or dislike of homosexual people
• Xenophobia, fear or dislike of strangers or the unknown, often used to describe nationalistic political beliefs and movements

Furthermore, the term hydrophobia, or fear of water, is usually not a psychological condition at all, but another term for the disease rabies, referring to a common symptom. Likewise photophobia, is a physical complaint, aversion to light due to an inflamed or painful eye or excessively dilated pupils).
