At what age did you encounter your first phobia or anxiety?

[Mark]

I would be very interested to learn when you encountered your first phobia or anxiety attack. These two issues do not seem to target any specific age groups therefore is it more likely it is down to your lifestyle and things which happen in your life?

I did not suffer my first phobia/anxiety attack until my mid 20s. Is this normal?
