Abnormal fear-induced behavior

What it means

An abnormal fear-induced behavior includes observable actions. This behavior is characterized by abnormal responses to fear or abnormal fear levels. Examples of such behavior include avoiding fear-inducing situations.

Internal responses to fear, which are experienced by an individual and do not necessarily involve clear behavioral changes (observable actions), should be labeled with a term for fear-related cognition, such as HP:5200230.
