The Phobic Trust also works to gain awareness and recognition of a disability which affects 25% of the population. We are currently investigating the links between anxiety disorders and alcohol and substance abuse and hope that the results of this research will help future sufferers and their families.
Our vision is of a world where anxiety disorders carry no stigma and sufferers are not afraid to speak out and seek help for fear of being labeled stupid, weak or crazy. History reveals many famous people such as John Bunyan, Samuel Johnson, Martin Luther, Winston Churchill and Howard Hughes have suffered from anxiety, which shows that having an anxiety disorder has nothing to do with lack of intelligence. The work of the Phobic Trust touches people of all ages irrespective of age, culture and socio-economic status. We rely on the time of our volunteers and charitable donations to allow our valuable work to continue - these donations come from our supporters, charitable trusts and individuals just like you.
