Make an appointment with a therapist. Sometimes, phobias can become unmanageable. A phobia like ophthalmophobia, which is often triggered in social situations, can become particularly limiting. You may be afraid to leave your home or become antisocial for fear of being stared at or watched. If your phobia has become intense, to the point it's affecting your ability to function, seek out the help of a qualified therapist. You can find a therapist through your insurance or by asking your regular doctor for a referral. If you're a student, you may be entitled to free counseling through your university. Phobias are often treated with cognitive behavioral therapy, a form of therapy where you confront and examine irrational thoughts and behaviors. In some cases, antidepressants may help you deal with your anxiety.
