Acrophobia

« Back to Glossary Index

Acrophobia is a specific phobia of heights, including everyday tasks such as climbing a flight of stairs, standing near a balcony, going over a bridge, or parking a car in a multiple-floor parking garage. People experiencing acrophobia would also avoid rollercoasters, going up a ladder, and looking out a window in a tall building. They might generally fear more than one kind of height or high place.
