Hi Dr. Kate! Does medication help in reducing or controlling symptoms of phobias? Thanks for posting this video.

Medication can be helpful for some individuals in managing phobia symptoms, but it’s often most effective when paired with therapeutic approaches like CBT or exposure therapy. Always good to discuss your options with a trusted healthcare provider. 😊💗

Hi again, Are we more likely to be born with phobias or do we develop them during our lives? Just curious, Thank you very much!

[@DrKateTruitt]

Great question! Phobias can develop from a mix of genetic predispositions and life experiences. Some of us may be more sensitive to developing them, but most phobias typically arise from a learned response to certain stimuli. Thanks for your curiosity!
