How are anxiety and phobias related?

Phobias fall into the category of anxiety disorders, because anxiety is prominent in both of them.

People who experience these seemingly excessive and unreasonable fears in the presence of or in anticipation of a specific object, place, or situation have anxiety issues

Much likely similar and basically anxiety is when you worry too much but then you are scared of something and it keeps you worrying until you dont say it or until you dont get that fear out until you face it.

Phobias can lead to anxiety when the phobias are triggered and are being dealt with. Anxiety can also be cause for phobias to be triggered.

Phobias are overwhelming fears associated with certain objects or situations, which usually pose little or no actual threat to a person. Anticipation of real danger from the situation itself is what causes us to experience anxiety, or unpleasant feelings, often accompanied with nervous behaviors (e.g. shaking, pacing back and forth, biting nails, goosebumps, etc.)

A feeling of worry, nervousness, or unease, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. People with certain phobias fear the outcome of whatever they are scared of. It all depends on the person though.

Sometimes certain phobias can trigger panic attacks or can cause a temporary rise in your anxiety levels.

A phobia is a type of anxiety. It's an irrational, unreasonable fear of an object or situation. Common phobias may be fear of the heights, dark, fear of certain animals such as snakes or spiders, or fear of blood -- some people get frightened of having their blood drawn when they go to see their doctor. Many of us have these and often they originate in childhood. But they becomes a phobic disorder -- or known as specific phobia -- when that fear is so great and the worry about encountering a snake or a spider or a dark place makes our life miserable and makes us unable to function.

Phobias can be triggering for your anxiety when you're faced with the objects that you're afraid of.

Both anxiety and phobias stem from irrational fear. Phobia the intense fear of a particular object or scenario that the average person would not be afraid of. It will cause you to do things that you wouldn't do in everyday situations. Likewise, anxiety is the wave that overcomes your body, causing you to think irrationally. It makes your overly afraid, however the trigger may or may not be the same thing every time the way phobias are.
