In question 1. I guess, the differences between phobia and normal fear are phobia effect patient's life a lot, they might not be able to live normally in some cases and it's also not easy for them to control themselves. Normal fear, I guess it's the fear the average people have and it doesn't effect life too much. I also think that normal fears are from what we've learned and mostly it is reasonable, like afraid of darkness because we don't see what is in the dark so that might make us imagine about something horrible, like criminal, ghost etc. However, they can control it, not like phobia patients might have other symptoms,such as heart shaking, dizzy or fainted.
In question 4. I've heard the news about one famous person long time ago. She is a singer, a model etc. I think, she had anorexia.
Many years ago there were lots of model that had the kind of psychological disorder and also many ladies that would like to be like a model had it too. Nowadays magazines and televisions try to change social value that ladies does not have to be very thin to be beautiful but just not too fat, firm and healthy can be beautiful too.
Sorry, I forgot to mention her name. Her name is Victoria Beckham. I guess everybody knows but just wanna make sure that I didn't miss some thing.
