Acrophobia

Acrophobia is the fear of heights. It is one of the most common phobias. Being scared of heights is said to be a natural instinct of the body. The majority of people are nervous when they stand near a 100 foot cliff, but when you can't go to the second floor of a mall without freaking out, that is acrophobia. Acrophobia is connected to other phobias, such as the fear of flying. Things you can do to cure this phobia are to gradually exposing yourself to higher and higher heights while teaching them relaxation techniques that will enable them to keep a calm mind.
