Why does deep-sea phobia exist? Reveal the cause for you

As we all know, thalassophobia is a type of phobia, which is mostly caused by terrifying experiences. However, not everyone who has had terrifying experiences will suffer from thalassophobia. So what exactly causes thalassophobia? Let’s take a closer look at it below!

Here are the factors that contribute to thalassophobia.

Genetic factors

According to foreign surveys, parents or siblings of phobia patients are more likely to suffer from neurosis, so genetic factors are one of the causes of phobia.

Personality Factors

It is generally believed that there are biological factors, namely, people with hereditary fragile personalities, who are naturally nervous and neurotic, and are most likely to feel fear. In addition, the personality traits of phobia patients are often highly introverted, manifested as timidity, fear, shyness and strong trustworthiness. In the subconscious of many phobia patients, they are often very inferior, especially those with social phobia.

External factors

Strong mental stimulation can induce phobias, such as separation of couples, death of loved ones, accidents, threatening events and most stimulating events.

Social factors

Phobia is also related to lifestyle and pace of life. Like other mental illnesses such as anxiety and depression, the incidence of phobias has shown a clear increasing trend in modern society. The massive increase in knowledge and information can sometimes be accompanied by emptiness and spiritual fragility. Expert research shows that people who were born in the 1960s and 1970s, have a high level of education, have already entered the workforce and have achieved some success in their careers, are engaged in office management work, and are serious, hardworking and promising people are most likely to suffer from mental illness. This survey result is similar to that of studies in some developed countries.

The above are the factors that lead to deep-sea phobia. So how to treat it? We often see some people who are afraid of the sea but still have to face it. This treatment method is the most direct and the most painful, and of course the fastest and most effective. If the patient cannot accept such treatment, he or she can also go to a professional hospital for treatment, so that he or she can get rid of the phobia as soon as possible.
