A 16 year old presents to your office and states that he is excessively fearful of dogs. Even seeing a dog across the street or hearing one bark on TV illicits a panic attack. For that reason he only watches Netflix, which has no commercials, and stays indoors as often as possible. He began to recognize that his fear was unreasonable after his girlfriend broke up with him because he wouldn't go to her house due to her dogs. This has been going on for about 7 months and he has no other mental disorders. What's your DDx?
