Specific (isolated) phobias. Phobias restricted to highly specific situations such as proximity to particular animals, heights, thunder, darkness, flying, closed spaces, urinating or defecating in public toilets, eating certain foods, dentistry, or the sight of blood or injury. Though the triggering situation is discrete, contact with it can evoke panic as in agoraphobia or social phobia.

Phobies spécifiques (isolées). Phobies limitées à des situations très spécifiques comme la proximité de certains animaux, les endroits élevés, les orages, l'obscurité, les voyages en avion, les espaces clos, l'utilisation des toilettes publiques, la prise de certains aliments, les soins dentaires, le sang ou les blessures. Bien que limitée, la situation phobogène peut déclencher, quand le sujet y est exposé, un état de panique, comme dans l'agoraphobie ou la phobie sociale.
