Phobia of heights

2017-04-12 05:19:49
I was always a bit uncomfortable with heights. But in the past few years this has turned into a phobia. Whenever I am at a height (tall building or a flyover or any high platform) i start to panic and want to rush down to end my misery. Alcohol does help a bit to overcome this phobia but its not a solution. I have avoided air travel for quite sometime now. I am looking for non allopathic solution. However, seems like a good psychological assessment might be required. Could you suggest the right treatment or any particular doctor to consult. Also, note that i am always high on anxiety,guess its heredity. Thanks.

Hello there. I can understand your concern. Counselling and pharmacotherapy can help you. For that you will have to get it checked out by a psychiatrist in person for further evaluation and management. He will be able to help you. Best regards. Dr. Anil Kumar Jain. Bangalore.
