Basophobia: symptoms, causes and treatment

Some people cannot imagine life without movement or walking. How can you sit in one place in an apartment and never get up on your own to have a cup of hot tea? But it turns out that this is quite possible if a person suffers from a disease with a peculiar name of basophobia. What are the symptoms of the disease, what are the causes and what is the treatment? These questions concern people who are faced with this ailment or are familiar with those who would like to help.

Basophobia is expressed in fear of walking. The causes of this disease can be a great variety. Apparently, such sufferers had trauma in childhood, or maybe they experienced very severe pain associated with movement on any surface, followed by a fall. In each individual case, it occurs according to a specific scenario.

And this is precisely because the subconscious in the distant past remembered and recorded an unpleasant story associated with an incident of an extraordinary nature. After some time, it surfaced in the memory of a person and gave impetus to the disease.

In the earliest childhood, a child may experience symptoms of basophobia. When the baby begins to take the first steps, he falls many times. It hurts him. This is how the fear of a fall and its consequences arises. Therefore, the little man tries to find support. When walking, he clings to the items at hand: a sofa, chairs, etc. Over time, the fear passes, and everything falls into place.

The first signs of this disease are manifested as follows: and the wounds healed, and the bones healed, and the patient for a long time tries not to let go of the object that helps him to move. And even if this object plays the role of a kind of screen, it will still affect the confidence of the sick person.

Therefore, it will not be difficult to understand that there is an individual with an obsessive state in front of you. He tries to move only when he has a fulcrum at hand. It can be a simple stick, chair, or wall.

An inexperienced person may even think that the person in front of him is physically ill or helplessly disabled. On the street, you can also observe the following picture: a woman or a man rolls her empty wheelchair, moving her legs quite independently, but at the same time resting her whole body on the arms and back of the chair. Such movement causes a lot of inconvenience, but the fear of falling makes you look for a safety net. And this is a concrete example of the manifestation of basophobia.

After some research, a detailed description of how people with basophobia feel was compiled. So, these representatives experience discomfort with the perception of space or with movement. These symptoms are caused by visual information that is inadequate. In such patients, spatial orientation is impaired. It is these symptoms that explain their fear of walking or falling. Discomfort occurs due to the fact that the receipt of signals (kinesthetic, vestibular, sensory, visual) is significantly distorted.

Fear of walking is not the only symptom of illness. If the following symptoms appear in parallel, you need to see a doctor:

• cardiopalmus;
• significant dilation of the pupils;
• tremors all over the body or in the limbs;
• a sharp decrease or increase in pressure in the blood vessels;
• increased sweating;
• the skin turns pale on the face or, conversely, it becomes purple;
• flush of heat.

When getting rid of any phobias and obsessive states, you need a very strong willpower. Some people enjoy being sick and watching their relatives look after them. First of all, you need to want to get rid of this addiction. Only when a person decides to free himself from fear, he will be able to overcome it.

For those who need outside help, various approaches are proposed to eradicate the problem. One of them is treatment with various drugs... Which of them are the safest and most effective, the doctor will tell you. Most likely, he will recommend those products that you can buy yourself at the pharmacy.

Good for treating fears phytotherapy method. In other, more severe cases, the doctor, after the studies carried out, prescribes tranquilizers.

In no case should you treat such a dangerous disease on your own. This can lead to very sad consequences. Nobody knows how the body will react to this or that action.

Psychotherapy is that the root cause of the phobia is found out. Then the specialist fixes the problem at the subconscious level. This is done by analyzing the situation that has arisen and explaining it. Then you can use psychocorrection. In this situation, there is a kind of simulation of the incident that led to the tragedy. As a result of the intensity of emotions, the person gets rid of the old problem.

For obsessive-compulsive disorders, auto-training is very useful. Through various attitudes and belief in them, a person reduces the level of internal stress. Hypnosis will also play a role in relieving walking phobia.
