Can prolonged exposure to stress and anxiety lead to phobias?
If someone has been exposed to a consistent amount of anxiety/stress for a few years can that cause someone to be more prone to developing a phobia they never had?

I don’t think so.
I have been exposed to constant and consistent stress and pain and anxiety for many years and so far I am phobia free.
Peace.
it can lead to compulsion
Yes. PDSD (Prolonged Duress Stress Disorder) can lead to forms of Agoraphobia.
The very good news on this is, if you practise a form of stress management of meditation you can, not only greatly reduce the risk of it, you can reduce stress all round.
Thi Chi is very good for this.
Yes and they probably will without proper therapy
It really depends on the person.
For me, I was forced to stay home a lot, and wasn’t allowed to hang out with my friends growing up.
Now, I am growing more and more afraid of going outside, and meeting new people. I’m sure it could have happened either way, but I think it could have a huge part in why I feel this way.
Also, I was left alone a lot as a child, and was forced to move away, so I lost a lot of people who were very important in my life. Now, I’m afraid of being alone and I’m afraid everyone will leave me.. even though I know it’s not going to happen. It’s very strange.
Hi
I’m afraid it can. However there are many factors involved, personality, situation etc. So suffering stress for a long period of time does not mean that you will definitely will develop a phobia but it can certainly contribute to them.
See my resource for more information about stress and phobias.
Everyone processes stress differently. I am the leading person in the world pertaining to how the physical body can produce all levels of mental illness in physical definitions.
How I got here is not through the normal education system of current medical psychiatry. The way I got here is through true personal experiences. I lived all levels of mental illness from simple attention deficit disorder at the age of 12, right on up to all the physical symptoms associated with schizophrenia. If you think I am talking a good game, due to the fact I am nutty enough to make these claims, I will tell you I have lived a 30 year decline of mental health, until I learned how to diagnose this.
With the mind only theorized about in high functioning Asperger Autism, I have used a savant that when you look at me, not one person would say,"Hmm, he looks autistic", you should know that I have found these answers using my rare 6 senses deductive savant.
I am not saying I was not dysfunctional. Technically speaking a psychiatrist is as dysfunctional as the rest of us, unless of course, he is not human. Why I make this broad statement is that the Ego of the human pack mammals species, in most scientific theory, has put us as the center of the universe. The same accepted theories over history have always been assuming the world is flat, the universe evolves around us and we are the almighty and sentient being that is the Omnivore.
The next statement is a statement that may sound like a Tom cruise alien space ship theory, but my theories are derived with a form of intelligence that is known for the purest logic in excepting only answer found with concrete result, and in my case I mean 99.9% accurate genetic testing. Sorry this way out theory is not developed by a religious fanatic. I have genetic tests that prove all I say. I have fully lost the physical condition known to occur while suffering the auto immune reason for unexplained levels of dysfunctional anxiety and stress. My brain has stopped the known mass reduction process that comes with schizophrenia.
The way I have done this should shock the world, the problem is that the worlds minds are so dysfunctional as the accepted and wrong theories drive our greedy race. I have come out of a foggy anxiety that has ruled my life ever since the age of puberty. I have found the clarity that I have never known in my 42 year life. I have done so with the largest education in history. The problem is my education is totally informal. Even though I have found what has caused the recent declines of the overall health of the human pack mammal species, current in place systems and entire global economy and health care being the biggest burden on every eco and socio system in the world, I have found hope with my new mind.
I have found hope for the children to actually have the ability to clean up the mess the adolescent phase of our species. If you do not talk about this freaky person who claims to have cured our declining health as a species through simple dietary changes, you must understand this makes me the enemy of every financial lobby that is truly in control of all the worlds governemnts. I am the enemy of the "Practice" of medicine. I am the enemy of the structured system that is called psychiatry(VooDoo). Most importantly, I can cut the need for pharmaceuticals needed by our species by a restructured 80 to 90%.
To more accurately apply my answer to your posted question is that there is not a person on the planet not suffering the condition known as mal absorption that is the physical definitions of all levels of mental disorder. We all have the pure genetics that can produce exactly the same things if enough pure stress is applied.
I have heard the voices. I chose to know they were mine. I have at many times, been so volitile due to my pure stress level, I am lucky to not be imprisoned. I have exhibitted the stupid levels of intelligence found in association with autistic deductive savants, and used it to find the answer. When I did, my reputation as the wildest rich kid on the planet, has convince everyone that this cannot happen.
I have found my way home on a simple dietary change. I have lost the life forming foggy anxiety that has literally melted without life long pharmaceutical intervention. I have come out the most focused person on the planet. Where once stood a man capable of nearly all atrocities to include suicide, stands a man with conviction and belief in himself. Even his family, who can barely believe their own eyes, to include my hot wife, cannot phathom the person and the change. They are too busy drinking(Not my hot wife). She knows and loves the change she herself has experience with me. Pure evidence of my change. Insecure and dangerously jealous, turned into confident pride of my wife. Wanting to die being changed into fighting for life with every ounce of fiber in my body. Wanting to tear out the eyes of another man, turned into com
