Man Alive

Living With Fear (1967x16)

Air date: Mar 03, 1967

Half a million people live with fear -irrational fear; often uncontrollable terror. They suffer from phobias; silly, odd things dominate their lives. Cures are being developed, but slowly and not always effectively. In the meantime, there is little comfort for those who panic in the presence of dogs or leaves, birds or visitors. The frustration of a life ruled by fear and the ridicule of friends and relatives who will not, and perhaps cannot, understand, often becomes intolerable. How do they live with it?
