Chapter 1: Fear - Definition, Symptoms, and Causes

What is Fear?

Whether a danger is psychological or physical, fear helps to notify us of the threat of harm or presence of danger. Fear involves a high individual emotional response and a universal biochemical response. Fear is a primitive, powerful, and natural human emotion. While fear can be an indication of mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, social anxiety disorder, and panic disorder, it can as well originate from imagined dangers but it often stems from real threats.

However, take note that fear that's highly personalized is stemming from an emotional response and on the other hand, our body as well responds in specific ways when we face a perceived threat — this is a biochemical reaction. Fear is a survival mechanism and a natural emotion and, high adrenaline levels, increased heart rate, and sweating are some of the physical reactions to fear.

Symptoms

As earlier mentioned, you can react emotionally or physically, or even both, to fear. While it's possible that we all may react to fear in different ways, here are some common symptoms of fear:

- Upset stomach
- Trembling
- Sweating
- Shortness of breath
- Rapid heartbeat
- Nausea
- Dry mouth
- Chills
- Chest pain

Some people also have the tendency of experiencing psychological symptoms of having a sense of impending death, feeling out of control, being upset, or being overwhelmed

Causes

Fear is more complex than how most people see it. While some people may trivialize fear and say it's for the weak, even the strongest person on the planet has his or her own fear. Think of the strongest wrestler or boxer in the world. Would you think such a person would have fears- Apparently, what we fear is different, and what makes someone fearful can be more complex or less complex, compared to another person.
