What is a Phobia? A phobia ( from the Greek word ‘Phobus’, meaning Fear), is an irrational, intense and persistant fear of particular situations, objects, activities or persons.
This overwhelming inhibiting fear that surges from within is always triggered by something outside oneself. It is this external symbolic representation of an inward anxiety.
How are phobias formed? Phobias are formed in the early years of development when everything is about learning and all experiences are new and challenging. If a traumatic or highly stressful or charged situation was experienced, a young mind may not have been able to deal with it as we deal with such experiences in our adult lives. The childs psyche bottles up and represses the associated emotions and thus creates a Phobia which is an intense and uncontrollable fear to deter you from experiencing that situation again.
Panic Attacks One of the most common symptoms of anxiety types is the dreaded Panic Attack. Panic attacks are are sudden, discrete periods of intense anxiety. According to the American Psychological Association symptoms of a panic attack commonly last approximately ten minutes. However, panic attacks can be as short as 1-5 minutes, while more severe panic attacks may form a cyclic series of episodes, lasting for an extended period, sometimes hours.
Symptoms of a typical Panic Attack would be a sudden intense anxiety or fear; sense of impending doom or disaster; sweating or trembling; pounding heart and chest tightness; shortness of breath; being fixed to a spot; and dizzyness to name a few.
