It has been a subject of constant study, since modern psychology started its development in the early XXth century, the analysis of the diverse kinds of pathological and mental disorders, that represent themselves through psychosis, phobias, and other mental diseases of the like.
Often, medical studies, tend to analyze the socio-economical environment of the person suffering these traumas, and the probable reasons why they present themselves in certain individuals instead of others.
In this work, we will talk about the most common of these mental disorders, that irrelevantly from the time period, have always manifested themselves in human history, that is the mental disease known as phobia.
As we well know this is an extensive ground, and therefore will try to focus on some important kind of phobias and proceed to describe them in full method. We may start by saying that phobias are the product of a subconscious fear, that is produced by critical event in a person's life.
The importance of analyzing Phobias, lies that in the study of such a disorder, lies the understanding of the assimilation process of the human mind when its growing, and makes us understand better, what are the internal things that makes us love, hate or fear, bringing us closer to the fuller understanding not only of the human mind, but of humanity itself.
This can be in no way, a conclusive work on phobias, since much of what we know about them is still being revised and researched, but the closer that humanity's societies grow, and the more industrialized we are, the more the need we have to get to know the inner workings of our own mind, this is why in a relative short future, medicine will find more about phobias, and the way to deal with them, psychologically and clinically.
We hope that after reading the present work, you can come to understand better the world of phobias, and the ways the act as well as the way to deal with them.
