The fear of elevators is actually one of the most common phobias (恐惧症) experienced today. 1．When combined with other conditions, the fear of elevators is very frequent.

2．Some may be frightened of being up so high. Others may be afraid of the enclosed space. Still others are afraid to be close to other people. Since so many people suffer from the fear of elevators, there may be support groups in some areas. These are most common in cities with lots of tall buildings where riding an elevator is almost impossible to avoid in day-to-day life.3．

Usually, the fear of elevators can be treated. Let sufferers visualize riding an elevator and picture the aspects which are frightening. Then they may be required to involve themselves in the part that scares them most. For example, someone who is afraid of heights may start by climbing a ladder over and over again. 4． Next, they move on to a greater height, such as climbing a tree. As they experience greater and greater levels, their fear may become lessened. Finally, they will be able to enter an elevator.

Sometimes just stepping into it is a start. At other times, they will be asked to ride up a few flights.5． But they can use methods which work when accomplishing smaller goals. Finally, after many attempts, riding an elevator may not cause anxiety at all.
