PHOBIA
You may have felt it yourself or seen a
friend unable to speak a word of well
memorised and rehearsed speech before
an audience.
These kind of fear are termed as phobias,
people who have phobias irrational fears to
specific objects, people or situation.
Phobias often develop gradually or began
with generalised anxiety disorder, phobias
can be grouped into three main types
i.e specific phobia, special phobia and
agoraphobia

SPECIFIC PHOBIA
Specific phobias are the not commonly
occurring types of phobia. This group
includes irrational fear such as water { a
certain type of animal or object} or
enclosed spaces. Some examples are given.

AGOROPHOBIA
Agorophobia in the term used when people
develop a fear of entering unfamiliar
situations many agorophobias are afraid of
leaving their home. So their ability to carry
out normal lie activities is severly limited.
 CAUSES
Fear is incredibly complex and there
is no single, primary cause. Some fears
may result from experiences or trauma,
while others may represent a fear of
something else entirely, such as loss of
control. Still, other fears may occur
because they cause physical symptoms,
such as being afraid of heights because
they make you feel dingy and sick to your
stomach.

Some common fear triggers include:

1] Certain specific objects or situations.
2] Future events
3] Imagined events
4] real environmental dangers
5] The unknown
 SYMPTOMS
Fear often involves both physical and emotional
symptoms. Each person may experience fear
differently, but some of the common signs and
symptoms include:-
1] Chest pain
2] Chills
3] Dry mouth
4] Nausea
5] Shortness of breath
6]sweating
7]trembling
8] upset stomach
In addition people may experience
psychological symptoms of being overwhelmed,
upset, feeling out pf control or a sense of
impending death.
 PREVENTION
HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR?

The quote “all we have to fear is fear itself”

by, the American president, Franklin D
Roosevelt, is absolutely true, It is only fear
of consequences which prevents us from
taking action, and hamper our progress, not
only as an individual, but also as a society.

Strong will power plays a vital role in our

life, firm determination and consistent hard
work are the hallmarks of success. A
person who has passionate desire to do
something achieve his goals within the
stipulated time. Will power of a human
being gives him strength, energy, vigour and
enthusiasm. It determines the fate of
human being. Absolute determination has
the ability to face and overcome obstacles.
No hinderance can defeat the will
power. It is invincible and
insurmountable.

There is no problem in this world which

has no solution. Nothing is impossible
in this world. He must not be fatalist.
He should not believe in destiny, but on
karma. A human can accomplish every
assignment if he/she desires. Strong
desires is the prerequisite to success.
There is no scope for disappointment in
the life of a person who has iron will
and dogged determination. There are
numerous incidents around us that
show how fear cripples the mind of an
individual and society , and acts as an
impediment to growth. Every fear we
held is linked to the fear of death.
