Fear
Fear is a natural emotional response to a real or perceived threat, which prepares the body to react. However, when it becomes intense, persistent, or disproportionate, it can turn into a difficulty that affects daily life.
Common symptoms: It can be accompanied by a racing heart, sweating, muscle tension, anticipatory thoughts, and avoidance of certain situations or objects.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek support when fear limits everyday activities, causes constant distress, or appears without a clear reason.
Which specialist treats it? The psychologist and the psychiatrist are the professionals who can help explore the origin of the fear and its effects. If this emotion feels overwhelming to you, talking it over with a mental health specialist can be of great help.
