Each person sooner or later may experience pain. They are more than unpleasant and even to some extent unbearable. Such moments when an individual is exposed to suffering, forever remain in memory.
Some people understand what you need to accept and live on. Others begin to dwell on this issue and excuses their consciousness every time. Transferred torture becomes an intrusive idea, and then alugophobia develops.
What it is?
The irrational fear of the algophobia originates from Greek: "Algos" (ἄλγος, Álgos) is "pain", and "Phobos" (Φόβος, Phóbos) is "fear". In the dictionary of the Russian language, this word is interpreted as Extremely unpleasant feeling.
This feeling is determined by experts as complicated and indicates that something unpleasant and even threatening the life cycle of man occurs with the body. It is because of this that a certain concern arises. And this feeling very much destabilizes the emotional state.
Unlike other phobias, algorofobia gives in a logical explanation. Fear of pain is the natural state of a person.
However, if the individual is healthy mentally, any pain is perceived adequately as something inevitable that you just need to survive. For example, the removal of the wart does not cause stormy emotions, as the patient understands that the operation must be carried out, the pain will soon subsight and rush, and health will remain.
And those who applies to the number of algorofs, the fear of physical pain is formed completely groundless. Even if they do not hurt anything, they simulate future situations, and panic develops on this fertile soil. It can enhance.
The feeling of fear of pain interferes when problems begin. They interfere with living a full life. A person does not develop, his brain is busy with some concerns.
These concerns are the cause of concomitant diseases and cause severe harm to health.
Causes of occurrence
Fear of pain, called algophobia, can occur for various reasons. Basically, all these reasons were laid in a person's consciousness as a child. Perhaps a small child suffered a strong pain associated with removing GRAND. Later, when this child became an adult, a negative situation arose, which led to phobia.
The main prerequisites for the development of fear before pain are quite certain reasons.
- Hereditary genetic. American psychiatrists after the studies have found such a fact: if the parent suffers from such a disorder, then a child can transmit this state in 25% of cases.
The predisposition to excessive anxiety is a genetically determined phobia. It is pathological and irrational attitude.
- Social. Such reasons are the main reason for the occurrence of phobias in humans. Hyperimational personalities have the greatest predisposition. Basically, people dependent on someone else's opinion, they try to avoid problems and leave them.
- There is still a theory of biochemical predisposition to fear. It is due to the relevant processes occurring in the body, and is determined by the production of serotonin hormones, melatonin, adrenaline, etc. Also, people with different dependencies (alcohol, narcotic, tobacco) are subject to phobiam due to consumed substances that negatively affect the work of the body.
And this theory is confirmed by research. For example, drug addicts are very difficult to choose a dose of anesthesia due to the fact that narcotic substances contain painkillers. The organism gets used to them quickly, and as a result, he then reacts poorly to anesthesia.
- Psychological reasons. They largely depend on human behavior and from its nature.
Consider some examples:
- understated self-esteem, self-criticism, negative in relation to his "I";
- Vision of the future in gray and black paints;
- In the nearest environment there are negative atmosphere and relationships with the surrounding people;
- Isolation from public life, stressful situations (divorce, loss of close, illness);
- overestimated requirements for their identity, increased senses of justice and responsibility;
- Chronic fatigue syndrome.
However, those personalities that have a very high self-esteem and a reduced sense of responsibility in front of them and society are practically not suffering from phobic disorders.
Symptoms
Phobias interfere with living, since because of various psychological problems, the physical condition of man suffers. As a result of panic attacks, a common health background changes unequivocally. Negative emotions provoke failures in the work of the whole organism, and then the following symptoms appear:
- Strong sweating;
- tremor limbs;
- failures in the respiratory system;

From the painful shock, a person may die, and if this state is aggravated by the alcohol, then the risks of the emergence of negative consequences are increased at times.
That's why It is necessary to take measures to eliminate panic attacks. And algophobia is no exception.
