Specific Phobia Test DSM

The PocketShrink apps are self-diagnosis tools. Each different app is targeted at a specific psychological condition that is commonly experienced by members of the population.

PocketShrink - 'Specific Phobia' - allows a user who has concerns about having fear of a particular object, place, situation or ‘thing’ to gain some self understanding and a rough gauge on whether they have a specific phobia and should seek further medical advice. Similarly if you are having anxiety about a particular object or situation and are not sure whether you need help with it or not the app can be a valuable guide. It also allows a user to see the graphical results of other anonymous users of the app who have the same concerns as themselves. This quickly demonstrates that the user is not alone in their concerns.

Additionally, if you are worried about the anxious responses of a friend, child or associate the app can be helpful in giving a more objective understanding of the difficulties they are facing. Using the app with a friend in mind, may give some insight into their behavior and why it may occur.

The app is simple and easy to use. It was written by a practicing psychologist and is based upon the latest diagnostic and statistical manuals (DSM V). Show More
