Phobias

So after talking with a friend about my fear of hights, I wanted to know what the technical term was. I've always known I'm not actually scared of the physical heights but more the edge, the dizzyness and nausea etc. So naturally you think vertigo, but I think that's actually a physical medical condition, which I don't think I have...so it turns out it is probably illyngophobia.

Pretty interesting reading.

I have this after a traumatic hallucinogenic experience about 10 years in which I thought parasites were trying to crawl in my eyes and eat them and thought tape worms were trying to escape out my body.

Parasitophobia is the fear of parasites, or the delusion of being infected with parasite



Parasitophobia is taken into account to be a specific phobia, which are typically fears of sure objects or situations. Parasitophobia is also related Helminthophobia (fear of being infested with worms) and Insectophobia (fear of insects).
It is usually accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and inner predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias might be traced again to a selected triggering event, often a traumatic expertise at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry mix with life-experiences to play a serious role within the development of phobias.
As with any phobia, the signs vary by person relying on their level of fear. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic reminiscent of shortness of breath, speedy breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, extreme sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, incapacity to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking.Medicine might be prescribed, however please observe that these medications can have side effects and/or withdrawal systems that may be severe. It can also be importation to notice that medicines do not cure phobias; at greatest they only briefly suppress the systems. However, there are therapies for phobias, which embody counseling, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic programming.
