Phobia &#8211; symptoms and treatment"},"content":{"rendered":"<h2>The difference between phobias and fears<\/h2>\n<p>Fear itself is an important component of the survival instinct. He forces a person to anticipate danger, avoiding it. A healthy fear allows you to preserve the view, keeps you from the desire to come close to a wild animal, walk over a deep cliff, and swim far from the shore. Fears are either acquired during life, or have an instinctive origin. Common fears have not only positive but negative meanings. To be afraid of something is the norm, unless panic drives the person into captivity of irrationality, and then phobias are replaced. Currently, pathological fears &#8211; phobias are no longer surprising.<\/p>\n<p>Human phobias have little in common with reality, since they force one to beware of something that is not dangerous, for example, buttons, insects, a certain number, balloons. Phobias are not attributed to the survival instinct, but to mental abnormalities. Each phobia has a medical interpretation.<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that virtually every individual is subject to both fears and phobias. There is no logical explanation for individual phobias, so they are uncontrollable. For example, people with agoraphobia are afraid of open spaces, and young children are often in awe of clowns. Phobic disorder is difficult to get rid of, but it can be treated early in its development.<\/p>\n<p>Popular phobias known from horror films are arachnophobia (aversion to spiders) and claustrophobia (fearfulness of an enclosed space). The entire list of phobias is huge and is presented below.<\/p>\n<h2>What are the causes of phobias<\/h2>\n<p>Something happened, it was suppressed. And it can result in phobias, maybe in psychosomatics.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Psychosomatics is when more difficult situations are suppressed. Each psyche chooses how it will work on suppression.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>An unconscious process is at work here.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For example, a person is afraid of getting infected and washes his hands 10 times.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you ask the question &#8220;What will happen if I don't wash my hands?&#8221; The first thing that can be sensed is danger.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The danger of what, that the worst will happen?<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; An incurable disease (lying under droppers, being helpless and weak).<\/p>\n<p>This is how we come to our fear of helplessness and weakness (sometimes humiliation). Because when we are helpless, we must be taken care of somehow. And such a chain develops.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>So you can come to what you need to work on first.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That's all &#8211; that's the answer to how to get rid of a phobia (you &#8220;take&#8221; this feeling of weakness and helplessness and start working with it).<\/p>\n<p>If it really is the root and if there is no more fear of experiencing these feelings, then hand washing will also stop. It will not be necessary, because the whole chain that led to this is simply broken.<\/p>\n<p>It becomes absolutely all the same. I didn't wash my hands, I\u2019ll lie under a dropper, well, nothing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Another example:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some have a fear that there will be no money. As a result, at the end of the chain, we come to the feeling that a person is afraid to feel like a fool (after all, someone who has no money is stupid, a loser). This is what you need to pay attention to. It seems that there is such a complex drama, but, in fact, it is just a fear of being stupid. In the end, everything turns out to be not so difficult.<\/p>\n<h2>Symptoms<\/h2>\n<p>Fear of being alone even for a short time is a sign of autophobia.<\/p>\n<p>The earliest symptom of autophobia is the hysterical crying of a child left in a room without a mother. In adolescence, the fear of loneliness can provoke a person to bad acquaintances.<\/p>\n<p>In rare cases, physical manifestations of autophobia in the form of neurodermatitis and other diseases of the skin are possible.<\/p>\n<p>Adults with fear of loneliness may be afraid to build family relationships, fearing that they will eventually become disappointed in their partner. The other side of the coin is cohabitation with literally the first person you meet for fear of not finding a worthy person and being alone.<\/p>\n<p>Being married, such people experience pathological jealousy towards their partner. Similar feelings can be directed at children, whom a person tries with all his might to keep near him, not giving them the opportunity to live their own lives. Thus, the fear of loneliness in women is most often manifested. Often, such people go to great lengths to achieve their goal, manipulating the feelings of others, pressing on pity, feigning illness, etc.<\/p>\n<p>If at first the symptoms of the disorder are imperceptible, then with the development of the phobia, the picture changes dramatically. The obvious signs of a compulsive fear of loneliness are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>nervousness and strong emotional distress;<\/li>\n<li>the desire to be among people;<\/li>\n<li>fear of being alone even for a while;<\/li>\n<li>obsessive attention or distraction;<\/li>\n<li>complete indifference to what is happening around;<\/li>\n<li>heart palpitations;<\/li>\n<li>trembling in the limbs;<\/li>\n<li>rapid breathing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>A few words about obsessive-compulsive disorder<\/h2>\n<p>Let's look at another situation.<\/p>\n<p>Turned off the electric stove, light, iron and you start checking everything. Some take pictures of sockets to sleep well on vacation &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Studying psychoanalysis, it seems that everything is complicated. But when we come to work through feelings, everything turns out to be much easier.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Behind every event that was emotionally difficult, there is a feeling that is difficult to face. Which was suppressed. And it tries to break out.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The same thing happens with obsessive-compulsive disorder. For example, the fear that a person forgot to turn off the stove &#8211; here you need to &#8220;go into this fear&#8221;, see what happens if &#8220;I&#8221; did not turn off the stove.<\/p>\n<p>The tangle unravels like this:<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; If I did not turn off the electrical appliance, then I am afraid that there will be a fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And what is the worst thing if there is a fire?<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; We'll have to buy a new apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; And what's the worst thing?<\/p>\n<p><strong>&#8211; Relatives will be left without an apartment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Very often, the root is fear, the expectation of what will be said about me? .. Feelings of guilt towards relatives. I'm a loser<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The most interesting thing here is what we are afraid of &#8211; this is what we unconsciously strive for anyway.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That is, we want to finally cope with this, live this experience. Sometimes we unconsciously create such circumstances for ourselves so as to end up at the bottom, to be robbed.<\/p>\n<p>Why do they say &#8220;what are you most afraid of happens&#8221;? Because there is a desire to &#8220;live on&#8221; the feeling. But why create these situations for yourself, than you can live the feeling here and now?<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It turns out that if we experience this state, having fully realized everything, then we discharge this anxiety.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>And you no longer care if you are good or bad. You feel whole and meaningful inside.<\/p>\n<p>If you see yourself as bad, then no matter what others do, you will interpret their attitude through your attitude towards yourself. It will seem that they constantly want something from you.<\/p>\n<h2>About the fear of death, blood, disease<\/h2>\n<p>There are characteristics that are common to all clients, but there are also their own, individual ones. First, about the general ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear of death<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Behind him is some kind of fear of living unknown feelings. Everyone will have their own: the loss of control, the feeling that you will live your life without experiencing happiness, never realizing, and everything is over.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a classic theme for people who are depressed. Now everything is so bad, and it is not known what will happen next. Again, fear of the unknown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear of pain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Often it's about feeling humiliated. And, by the way, the fear of childbirth, to a greater extent, too. (There is a feeling that I am humiliated when I am in pain, helpless and not in control of the process).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fear of doctors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also comes from here. Because you are helpless in front of a person who does something with you and cannot control it.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>That is, in a large number of phobias that we talked about, this is just a fear of humiliation. It can be lived. And the fear of blood &#8211; there can be completely different reasons. Something could have been superimposed since childhood &#8230; I saw something in my childhood or heard a story &#8230;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>List of human phobias with explanations<\/h2>\n<p>BUT<\/p>\n<p>Ablutophobia &#8211;

Now let's look at the most common ones. In psychiatry, there are about 10 fears that psychotherapists' clients most often face. Let's consider a list of the most common phobias and their meaning.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Panic in front of confined spaces, called claustrophobia in psychiatry.<\/li>\n<li>Horror at the sight of the dead and funeral rituals, which is called necrophobia.<\/li>\n<li>An overwhelming fear of air travel is aerophobia.<\/li>\n<li>Terror enveloping in dark places or rooms. &#8211; nyphobia.<\/li>\n<li>The fear of being on top is acrophobia. People with this pathology are terrified when going upstairs. They cannot go to the mountains or just stand on a stool.<\/li>\n<li>Spider panic is arachnophobia. This pathology belongs to the most common type of zoophobia.<\/li>\n<li>Strong fear of dentists and dental procedures &#8211; dentophobia. Such people refuse treatment, even if the dental situation is critical.<\/li>\n<li>Fear of snakes is an ophidiophobia. As a rule, everyone is afraid of reptiles, but among ophidiophobes this fear is obsessive. They refuse to visit pet shops, zoos and other places where snakes can live.<\/li>\n<li>The panic that develops in a person at the sight of blood is hemophobia. The horror can be so strong that the hemophobe can lose consciousness at the sight of blood.<\/li>\n<li>Another common type of fear is kinophobia, when a person is terrified of dogs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The list of human phobias that are most common has recently been replenished with carcinophobia &#8211; the fear of contracting cancer. This is partly due to the rise in cancer on the planet. More and more clients turn to psychotherapists in order to free themselves from obsessive thoughts about a malignant disease.<\/p>\n<h2>&#8220;Star&#8221; phobias<\/h2>\n<p>Celebrities, as often, if not more often than ordinary people, are subject to fear. The fear of something can reach the point of absurdity. Let's consider what fears the stars have.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Nicole Kidman experiences wild horror at the sight of butterflies. Interestingly, cockroaches and mice do not cause any emotions in the star.<\/li>\n<li>Uma Thurman suffers from claustrophobia, which developed after filming a film where she had to lie down in a coffin. Now the actress is afraid of elevators and enclosed spaces.<\/li>\n<li>Orlando Bloom is famous for its fear of pigs. His pathology also developed as a result of the filming of the film. A large boar escaped from the cage and ran after the actor.<\/li>\n<li>Oprah Winfrey is intolerant of chewing gum. Her fear comes from childhood, when, as a little girl, her grandmother was frightened by the punishment at school for chewing them. The fear turned out to be so strong that it still haunts the celebrity.<\/li>\n<li>Scarlett Johansson is terribly afraid of birds. The fear of birds developed in the actress as a result of the filming of the film &#8220;We Bought a Zoo&#8221;, during which a peacock broke free, thus frightening the star.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>People's fears are endless, and celebrities are no exception. With many of them you can live peacefully, while some are very poisonous to life and require specialized help.<\/p>\n<h2>Human phobias: classification according to Karvasarsky<\/h2>\n<p>It is very difficult to group all the fears into categories. But experts still managed to divide the pathology data into classifications. In psychiatry, they use the Karvasarsky list. This is a well-known psychiatrist who divided phobias \/ fears according to the plot. Consider the list of human phobias according to Karvasarsky with explanations:<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong><span><span>Types of phobias<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong><span><span>Examples of<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Panic in front of society, when it is unbearable for a person to be among people, it is impossible to endure criticism<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>This classification includes the fear of a large crowd of people, public speaking, new acquaintances, the opposite sex, etc.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Phobias \/ fear of harming yourself or others<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>Fear of infection, injury (hence the panic in front of sharp objects), fear of committing suicide, harming others<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Phobias associated with movement in space<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>This includes the fear of driving on public transport, fear of heights, confined and open spaces, and more.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Fear of getting sick, contracting an unpleasant disease<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>Fear of oncology, sexually transmitted diseases and other diseases<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Fear of doing bad things to yourself or other people<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>Fear of using foul language, misbehaving in public<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Intimate fears<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>Panic before sex, fear of getting pregnant, giving birth<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Fears associated with your own demise<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>More often than not, people are afraid of being buried alive.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span><span>Secondary fears that develop against the background of fear due to an existing phobia<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td><span><span>If the phobia is not treated, additional pathologies develop over time against its background, requiring more serious treatment.<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>We examined the list of types of human phobias according to Karvasarsky. This is the main classification used in psychiatric practice. But there are other kinds of fears as well.<\/p>\n<h2>When is phobia treatment needed?<\/h2>\n<p>Phobias can manifest themselves in the form of various fears, for example:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>loss of consciousness;<\/li>\n<li>of death;<\/li>\n<li>committing aggression towards someone or yourself;<\/li>\n<li>various diseases;<\/li>\n<li>the public, a large crowd of people;<\/li>\n<li>loss of control over oneself;<\/li>\n<li>public transport;<\/li>\n<li>and much more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The main sign of the presence of the disease is a decrease in the quality of life. In this case, the manifestation of the phobia is clearly manifested. When negative thoughts cannot be suppressed by the efforts of the will and \/ or they constantly pursue a person in the form of an obsession. It is necessary to treat phobia in any of its manifestations from the moment the quality of life begins to decline.<\/p>\n<p>The usual fears that every person has is not required to be treated, since they can be suppressed by an effort of will, they can be crossed and they do not reduce the quality of a person's life. Such fears do not qualify as phobias.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/74c75f6effa6f3df04eb9c57dbed47ea-1.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-bGlnaHRib3g=\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"  title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"SDStudio-light-box-enable SDStudio-editor-tools-md-imp\" src=\"https:\/\/inform.com.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/74c75f6effa6f3df04eb9c57dbed47ea-1.png\" alt=\"What is a phobia: causes, symptoms, treatment.

Tranquilizers (phenazepam) and antidepressants (amitriptyline) are mainly used, but antipsychotics (etaperazine, chlorprothixene) and antipsychotics (frenolone, sonapax) are also prescribed. The doctor's task is to combine drugs in such a way that they reduce the level of anxiety and do not interfere with the normal functioning of a person. The disadvantage of drug therapy is that it only affects the symptoms. As soon as the drug is stopped, the person risks returning to the former pathological state.<\/li>\n<li>Drug-free treatment.

The therapy is long-term, but it allows you to &#8220;deal&#8221; with the root cause of the phobia.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For phobias, non-drug treatment is generally indicated.

Perceiving obsessive thoughts as your own is a sign of mental health. It is very important that a person understands that these are his thoughts, and not &#8220;voices&#8221; or pictures imposed by someone from the outside. Otherwise, psychosis or schizophrenia may be suspected.<br \/>\nObsessive thoughts arise against the will of a person and cause him severe stress. These can be:<br \/>\n\u2022 frightening memories;<br \/>\n\u2022 images of diseases, thoughts about infection with dangerous microbes;<br \/>\n\u00b7 Pictures of accidents that happen to loved ones;<br \/>\n\u00b7 Obsessive fears of harming other people (accidentally or intentionally);<br \/>\n\u00b7 Obsessive reflections, when a person is forced to conduct dialogues with himself.<br \/>\nObsessive thoughts are often accompanied by obsessive actions &#8211; compulsions. These are a kind of rituals that are designed to protect a person from negative consequences and get rid of obsessive thoughts. The most common obsessive actions are washing hands, checking the state of electrical appliances, turning off the gas stove. If a person has both obsessive thoughts and obsessive actions, then there is reason to assume the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder.<\/p>\n<h2>The reasons for the appearance of obsessive thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>1  <strong>Overwork<\/strong> &#8211; prolonged unbearable mental and physical stress, lack of rest.<br \/>\n2 <strong>Experienced stress<\/strong> (dog attack, dismissal from work), which temporarily disrupted the flow of processes in the central nervous system.<br \/>\n3 <strong>Loss of the meaning of life<\/strong>, aimless existence, low self-esteem are accompanied by negative emotions and a tendency to fruitless reasoning.<br \/>\n4 <strong>Features of the brain.<\/strong> Mostly they are manifested by a violation of the exchange of neurotransmitters &#8211; serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine.<br \/>\n5 <strong>Hereditary factors<\/strong> &#8211; the tendency to obsessive thoughts can be inherited.<br \/>\n6 <strong>Accentuation of character<\/strong>&#8230; People with a sensitive, pedantic, astheno-neurotic personality type are prone to the appearance of obsessive thoughts.<br \/>\n7 <strong>Features of upbringing<\/strong> &#8211; too strict, religious upbringing. In this case, obsessive thoughts and intentions may arise that fundamentally contradict education. According to one version, they are a subconscious protest of the personality, and according to the other, the result of excessive inhibition in the corresponding parts of the brain.<br \/>\nObsessive thoughts intensify after a serious illness, endocrine diseases, during periods of hormonal changes (pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause), during periods of intra-family problems.<\/p>\n<h2>Ways to deal with obsessive thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>\u00b7 <strong>Eliminate traumatic situations<\/strong>. It is necessary to give rest to the nervous system, if possible, eliminate all irritating factors and avoid stress. The best solution is to take a vacation.<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Stop fighting obsessive thoughts<\/strong>. Accept the fact that they sometimes come to mind. The more you try to combat obsessive thoughts, the more often they appear and the more stress they cause. Mentally tell yourself, &#8220;I forgive myself for these thoughts.&#8221;<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Treat Obsessive thoughts quietly<\/strong>&#8230; Remember that most people experience this condition from time to time. Do not take a thought as a warning or a sign from above. It is just the result of the appearance of arousal in a separate part of the brain. Research has shown that obsessive thoughts have nothing to do with intuition. Nothing bad happened to people who saw frightening pictures of coming misfortunes. And those who feared their intentions to harm others never followed through.<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Replace obsessive thoughts with rational ones.<\/strong> Rate how unlikely your fears will come true. Make a plan of actions that you will follow if the trouble does happen. In this case, you will feel that you are ready for an unpleasant situation, which will reduce the fear.<br \/>\n\u00b7<strong>Speak, write, tell obsessive thoughts<\/strong>. Until the thought is put into words, it seems very convincing and frightening. When you voice it or write it down, you will realize how unconvincing and absurd it is. Share obsessive thoughts with loved ones, write them down in a diary.<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Face your fear.<\/strong> Train yourself to do what causes fear. If you are haunted by obsessive thoughts of infection, gradually train yourself to be in public places. If you tend to analyze your statements and beat yourself up for them, talk to people more.<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Osvoyte relaxation techniques<\/strong>&#8230; Yoga, autogenic training, meditation, muscle relaxation help balance the processes of inhibition and excitation in the brain. This reduces the risk of the appearance of foci of neurochemical activity that cause obsession.<\/p>\n<h2>How to get rid of the fear of the dark?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Fear of the dark<\/strong> or <strong>nyphobia is the<\/strong> most common fear on the planet. It affects 10% of adults and over 80% of children. If you are afraid of the dark, it is not the lack of lighting that scares you, but the dangers that may lurk in the dark. This is due to the fact that the brain does not receive enough information about the environment to analyze. At the same time, the imagination is activated, which &#8220;draws&#8221; various dangers.<br \/>\nA person suffering from nyphobia may panic when the light is suddenly turned off. A fear of the dark can transform into a fear of the dark indoors or a fear of the dark outside. A person can rationalize their fears by finding various reasons and excuses.<br \/>\nFear of the dark or fear of the night can be accompanied by the following symptoms:<br \/>\n\u00b7 Accelerated heartbeat;<br \/>\n\u00b7 Increased pressure;<br \/>\nSweating;<br \/>\nShivering in the body.<br \/>\nWhen fear turns into a mental disorder, the patient begins to clearly &#8220;see&#8221; the invented images, and they pass into the category of hallucinations.<\/p>\n<h3>Causes of the fear of the dark<\/h3>\n<p>1 <strong>Genetic predisposition<\/strong>. For most people, the fear of the dark is inherited from their ancestors. According to statistics, if parents were afraid of the dark, then their children will also be susceptible to nytophobia.<br \/>\n2 <strong>Negative experience.<\/strong> An unpleasant event that a person suffered in the dark is fixed in the subconscious. For example, a child was locked in a dark room. Subsequently, the lack of lighting is associated with the experienced fright. Moreover, it often happens that the initial threat was invented and was the fruit of overdevelopment of the child's fantasy.<br \/>\n3 <strong>Violation of neurochemical processes<\/strong>&#8230; Impaired metabolism of neurotransmitters (dopamine, serotonin) and adrenaline can provoke fears. What kind of fear a person develops depends on the individual characteristics of higher nervous activity.<br \/>\n4 <strong>Constant stress<\/strong>. Prolonged nervous tension (family conflicts, difficulties at work, session) disrupts the normal functioning of the nervous system. At the same time, the fear of the dark can appear even in adults.<br \/>\n5 <strong>Fasting, strict diets<\/strong>. There is a version that a deficiency of certain chemical elements disrupts the brain, which can lead to unfounded fears.<br \/>\n6 <strong>Fear of death.<\/strong> This phobia is exacerbated at night and triggers the fear of the dark.<\/p>\n<h3>How to get rid of the fear of the dark<\/h3>\n<p>\u00b7 <strong>Find the cause of the fear.<\/strong> Try to remember the situation that caused the fear of the dark to appear. It is necessary to present it in detail, feel all the emotions, and then come up with a happy ending (I was locked in a dark room, but then my father came and took me in his arms). It is important to change your mindset to a positive one.<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Pleasant dreams.<\/strong> If the fear of the dark prevents you from falling asleep, then you need to relax, imagine yourself in a calm place, and conjure up other pleasant images.<br \/>\n\u00b7 <strong>Behavioral therapy.<\/strong> The method of gradual addiction has been recognized as successful. Before turning on the light in a dark room, count to 10. Increase the time spent in the dark by 10-20 seconds daily.<br \/>\nFears and phobias are treatable at any age.
