Just because someone has a disturbance – for example, fear of spiders – doesn’t mean that they necessarily require treatment. — dpa

Even looking at a spider causes the woman to shudder. But because she lives in a new apartment, she has practically zero contact with them. She can go about her daily life without problems.

Is she neurotic? Probably. Does she need therapy? As long as she doesn’t feel burdened by her fear, no. Most people show some abnormality. Whether they should be treated for it is another thing.
