Fear in psychiatry

Fear is one of the most common and powerful emotions experienced by humans. It can be caused by various reasons, such as fear of danger, of the unknown, of public speaking, of an exam, fear of losing a loved one, etc. Fear is one of the main human emotions that accompanies our lives from the day we are born until our last breath.

However, in some cases, fear can become pathological and lead to mental illness. In psychiatry, fear is called agoraphobia and is characterized by severe and prolonged anxiety in a person who cannot get rid of it on his own. This can lead to serious problems in daily life, such as lack of social activity, avoidance of public places, and even eventually depression.

Treatment for agoraphobia may include psychotherapy, medications, and changes in the person's lifestyle. However, many people turn to a psychiatrist already in a severe stage of the disease, and often they have to spend a long time in hospital.

Fear in psychiatry is one of the most common syndromes among patients with emotional disorders. Pointless fear, also known as anxiety (from the Latin anxietas - “anxiety”), is a negative emotion that arises as a result of an unsatisfied need of the “deprivation” type. Anxiety is caused by the emptiness in the soul, the need for change. Fear is unpleasant because it violates internal harmony and is not justified.
