Why do many people have deep-sea phobia when facing the ocean?

Now we often hear people say that I have intensive phobia, I have social phobia and so on. So do you know what deep-sea phobia is? This is an uncontrollable fear and anxiety about the deep sea, and you can't see anything related to the deep sea. Don't think this is a joke. Phobia is one of the top ten mental diseases in the world. I didn't know I had it until I met the trigger scene.

Deep-sea phobia and intensive phobia, which we are familiar with, belong to one kind of phobia, but don't underestimate it. Don't think it is cowardice. Phobia is a kind of psychosis, which is different from intensive phobia. You need to look at empty fingers, lotus milk, pipa toad and tick dog to fight poison with poison. The need for deep-sea phobia is to avoid stimulation and treatment.

The manifestation of deep-sea phobia is that people with this disease are not only afraid of everything about the deep sea, but even deep lakes and ponds, such as this seemingly big and dark place with water, will make them breathe faster, nervous, afraid and feel weak.

The deep sea is actually a dark and closed space. Up there is a deep water that can't penetrate light, and down there is a dark and boundless deeper sea. When patients see this kind of space, they will constantly imagine that they are trapped in it, which will lead to fear.

People with phobias may be timid by nature. After watching some horror movies about the deep sea, they have formed a fear of the deep sea in their impression. Or when diving in the sea, I encountered a dangerous time, which caused a great psychological shadow and left a phobia. Of course, these are external causes.

But deep-sea phobia is actually a compound of multiple fears:

1. Fear of vast space. The deep sea is a kind of boundless space, endless, with no top on it and no bottom on it.

2. Fear of claustrophobic space. Because entering the deep sea requires the help of fully sealed equipment, this completely sealed environment and the huge difference between internal and external space can easily strengthen the sense of helplessness in human consciousness.

3. Fear of the unknown space. The deep sea is a strange and unknown territory, and there are many giant creatures, and the legends of various water monsters make the deep sea more and more unknown and mysterious.
