I’d like to propose some phobia subcategories, since the category is getting pretty big. I also realized that since phobias are a type of anxiety disorder, it might be useful to move the category “Phobias” to become a subcategory of “Anxiety Disorders,” so it can be clearer to people browsing the categories looking for help. What do you all think?

Can you see any more potential subcategories that would include the minimum of 5 articles?

I think it looks pretty good also,the only thing i would say-though i do not suffer from Arachnophobia-is to try not to kill them,if at all possible,i know this may sound a bit daft.but they are good for nature’s ecosystems.

Also there are so many phobias eg fear of fainting,fear of enclosed spaces,even fear of men/women and certain clothing materials-its a massive subject,virtually anything that some people like-others are repelled,even things like the feel of buttons,or tin foil!

@SimonF1974 Yes, there are tons of phobias! I haven’t seen the list but I wouldn’t be surprised if there were upwards of 50 identified phobias.

We can’t make subcategories unless there are at least 5 articles for the category. I imagine that the phobias category would gain more subcategories as things get more organized and more phobia articles are created.
