Answer 1

A person who is terrified of heights likely suffers from:

• anxiety.
• a phobia.

Specific phobia, particularly acrophobia, is an intense fear of heights. While anxiety can be a component of that fear, obsessive-compulsive disorder and impulse control disorders are not directly related to a fear of heights.
