Horde of persons worldwide suffer form three Most Common Phobia's which at times is given a Religious identity. They earlier we identify these Phobia's they easier we come to overcoming it.

These Phobia's are not limited to the following:

- AUTOPHOBIA
This is known as the fear of abandonment, many people grow up with fears around abandonment. Some are plagued by these fears pretty consistently throughout their lives. They worry they’ll be rejected by peers, partners, schools, companies, or entire social circles. For many others, these fears aren’t fully realized until they enter into a romantic relationship. Things will be going along smoothly, and all of a sudden, they feel inundated with insecurity and dread that their partner will distance themselves, ignore, or leave them. Everyone experiences this fear at different levels. Most of us can relate to having heightened anxiety over thoughts of rejection.

- Nyctophobia
This is an extreme fear of night or darkness that can cause intense symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Being afraid of the dark often starts in childhood and is viewed as a normal part of development. Studies focused on this phobia have shown that humans often fear the dark for its lack of any visual stimuli. In other words, people may fear night and darkness because they cannot see what’s around them.

While some fear is normal, when it starts to impact daily life and sleep patterns, it may be time to visit your doctor.

- Thanatophobia
This is a medical condition whereby an individual experiences an extreme fear /phobia of death, whether or not if it is the idea of themselves dying or the loss of a loved one. Although this may seem common as it is not often we come across a person who embraces the idea of death,as it seriously impinge on one’s life satisfaction.
It is not uncommon for those with such to avoid any activity considered even slightly dangerous, experience debilitating anxiety regarding the health of those around them, and be unable to attend funerals or burial sites to honour the life of friends and family who have passed away. Commonly people with such phobia develop complex and prolonged grief patterns following bereavement.


What causes Thanatophobia?

Some say that Thanatophobia can be linked to Religious beliefs as many people’s beliefs surrounding death is tied into their religious views, particularly if they happen to be going through a period of questioning. Some believe that the path to salvation is very straight and narrow, and fear that any deviations or mistakes may cause them to be eternally condemned, thus any mistake may create or exacerbate deep fears of what may happen to them in an after-life.

Others argue that the condition is less about death per say, but is more accurately a phobia of the general unknown which becomes highlighted when considering death. What happens after death cannot be unequivocally proven while we are still alive, and therefore the subject will always remain the ultimate unknown.
