What are the disadvantages of intensive phobia?

Phobia is a kind of neurosis with fear symptoms as the main clinical phase. The object or situation that the patient was afraid of was outside his body, and there was no danger at that time. Panic attacks are usually accompanied by obvious autonomic symptoms. It is a characteristic of patients to try to avoid objects or situations that they are afraid of. Patients know that this fear is excessive, inappropriate and unreasonable, but this understanding still cannot prevent the occurrence of fear. If the object or situation you are afraid of is not external, such as fear of disease or deformity, it is not phobia, but hypochondria. Phobia is often accompanied by depression, but depression is secondary and not dominant in clinic.

Psychological fear is often more harmful to health. Especially for the elderly, long-term sadness, boredom and anxiety will accelerate their own aging and death, cast a shadow of disharmony on the whole family and affect their lives. If the elderly want to live a long and healthy life, they should let nature take its course and treat death correctly. They should not disturb themselves or doubt at will.

Fear leads to high mental tension and makes it difficult to sleep. Long-term fear will make patients feel flustered, short of breath, tired and scared. At present, the treatment of insomnia caused by fear is a combination of psychotherapy and medication (pure Chinese medicine).

1. Encourage patients to engage in physical labor and physical exercise, and take part in some recreational activities to make them feel comfortable, relaxed and reduce their fears.

2. Those suffering from fear and severe insomnia should be treated according to syndrome differentiation and symptomatic treatment. Improve the systemic symptoms caused by insomnia as soon as possible.

3. Insomnia caused by long-term fear should be combined with system desensitization. The principle of this kind of psychotherapy is that when anxiety and fear stimuli appear in front of patients, they are applied with stimuli opposite to anxiety and fear, so that patients can gradually eliminate anxiety and fear, and are no longer sensitive to harmful stimuli and produce pathological reactions. Systematic desensitization method is to gradually train patients' endurance and endurance according to the intensity of stimulation from weak to strong and from small to large, and enhance patients' adaptability, so as to achieve no allergic reaction to real experience and make physical and mental health reach a normal tolerance state.
