Fears en phobian complaints

In many cases being afraid is a normal and healthy reaction. Everyone faces such a situation. Your heart beats faster and your breath failes. Some people become afraid in apparently harmless situations. For those people however a greath threat. An example of such a situation is seeing spiders or touching people or things. We call these cases abnormal fears or fear disturbances. There are three categories of fear disturbances:

- Phobias,

- Fears without demonstrable cause and

- Fears as a reaction to radical events.

People who are phobias are afraid of a certain object, a certain kind of people or a certain situation in their surroundings.

People who are suffering from fears without demonstrable cause often raids by a panic feeling or a thought, that makes them very anxious.

People who are suffering from fears as a reaction to radical events mostly experienced a traumatic event and these events pursue them continued.

Lack of serotonin

During a panic attack your braincells use more neurostransmitters then normal. This neurotransmitter is called serotonin. Through the faster consume a lack of serotonin arises in your brain tissue while an other matter (noradrenaline) gets the upper hand. As a result of those physical reactions are arising such as heartbeating, dizziness, constriction at the chest and difficulty breathing. With the proper respiration the arising of the lack of serotonin can be balanced.
