December 4th 2008 21:12
Talking about the phobias, what is your general knowledge about it? Well, most of the people have limited facts about the phobias and if you’re one of them, then you should spend a couple of minutes and read on this article…

A phobia is an anxiety disorder that have been characterized by an extremely fear or dread of certain objects, animals, events or any terror situations. Normally, a phobia can cause severe disruption and restriction of normal life activities.

The word, “Phobia” is derived from the ancient Greek phobos meaning extreme fear and flight. The ancient Greek God, Phobos, was to be known able to reduce the enemies of the Greeks to a state of terror situation and making victory in battle!




The fear is so strong that sometimes, it will produce a range of physical symptoms where it is typically may include sweating, trembling, faintness, dizziness, nausea, palpitations, hyperventilation, and even panic attack!

Most of the time, a phobia person recognizes that his or her fear is irrational and will completely out of proportion to any possible threat posed by the stimulus. Furthermore, the person might be going to great lengths to cover the existence of phobia and it’s probably that, in many cases, the disorder remains unrecognized!

Interesting one, Wilson, they need to seek help rather than cover it up.

I have Arachnophobia stemming from a childhood trauma. I am trying hard to overcome it but I have quite a physical reaction when confronted by spiders, even dead ones. I know it's completely irrational but phobias are difficult to overcome.

Katyzzz: Yep, and they should do it as early as possible, as the longer they delay it, then the lowest the recovery rate...

Cheryl: I know your feeling, Cheryl. As I'm also a former Claustrophobia due to my childhood trauma! However, I tried my best to overcome the fear and I'm glad that I'm finally made it!

Guys, remember that the biggest enemy of phobia is ourselves. So, if you want to get the rid off from phobia, then you should confront yourself first!
