Without treatment, a phobia can last a lifetime and can isolate you from people and social activities.

Fortunately, phobias are very treatable. Psychotherapy — exposure therapy in particular — helps as many as 90% of people who are committed to practicing the therapy they learned. You may notice improvements within weeks to a few months.
