Arachnophobia is considered a specific phobia, which is a type of mental health disorder.<\/span> There doesn't seem to be one specific reason people are arachnophobic, but instead, there are a variety of risk factors. If you had a traumatic encounter related to spiders, someone in your family is arachnophobic, and/or you have an existing mental health disorder, you may be more likely to develop arachnophobia.<\/span><\/p>"
