Phobia is a
kind of anxiety disorder which creates fear due to the encounter with some
danger situation like height, certain animals, objects, insects and so on.
Generally, most of the people are scare of minor things though they
particularly may not feel that they have phobia of anything. According to the American
Psychiatric Association, a phobia is an irrational and excessive fear of an object or
situation. In most cases, the phobia involves a sense of endangerment or a fear
of harm. Phobia is related
to psychology as it expresses the fear one has to suffer due the stage of mind.
Sigmund Freud is known as the father of psychoanalysis and also a modern
psychology. He has defined that the mind has three structure which is Id, Ego
and superego where phobia is the outcome of the conflict what occur between Id
and superego and Ego tries to manage the conflict of two structure.
Phobia can be of anything minor to the major ones as many people can have
phobia of insects whether they are venomous or not and some people have major
phobia that could lead them to have a serious issue like heart attack or
trauma. Some people are scared of
heights, spiders, pubic speaking, being stuck on small area like lift and many
more. While talking about types of phobia we might remember phobias like
acrophobia, mysophobia and claustrophobia because of movies or series that we have watched
so far. Hydrophobia is the fear of water and it mainly occurs if someone is
suffering or diagnosed with Rabies and it is symbolized as hydrophobia because
it makes people to have a fear of water and it is different from other phobias
as it is caused by the bite of wild dog rather than a psychological fear.
Now let’s talk about the types of phobias, there are various kind of
phobias that we might or might no have heard till now:
Hence, phobia causes anxiety to people when they have to bump into the
things or circumstances what they fear the most and some stay away from their
fear whereas few seek the ways to overcome the fear. Phobia is not so extreme
until it doesn’t make anxious from it as one can manage their fear by staying
away from it and phobia might be a problematic if it began to give mental and
psychological disorder because when a person is mentally disturbed than he/she
has to suffer more from their fear. Creepy-crawly can be found in almost every
part of the world and just because of our phobia we can’t simply kill them by
using sprays and pesticides so all we can do is to be away from them. Some
major phobia should be treated soon as they can cause serious health issues and
may leads to deadly situation.
