It is of common belief that, phobias are usually
deeply-rooted from childhood experiences that are traumatic in nature.
Though much is still unknown from its causes, phobias can also be
results of genetics and brain chemicals. Lineage is considered to be a
cause of phobia development in an individual. If there is a history of
phobia in the family, chances are some of their relatives could develop
one too. Though no studies prove that gender is a factor to be
considered as a cause, according to statistics phobias are more
prevalent in women than among men.
According to psychologists, the experts on the mental processes, what
causes phobia is an individual's genetic predisposition along with
environmental and social causes. Social disposition such as lack of
assertiveness, low self-esteem and inferiority complex are related to
be causes of phobia. A negative social experience, such as rejection by
peers or public embarrassment, plays a considerable part in triggering
a phobia to develop in a person.
Considered as an anxiety disorder and as one of the most common mental
illness among men and women, phobia can be picked-up by merely
observing a close relative's phobic reaction. What causes phobia still
puzzles most experts although they are not at all at lost. Many studies
have been thoroughly made, and many had promising outcomes. One of the
studies concluded that a phobia could also be a result of another
phobia or other anxiety disorder such as depression or any abuse of
substance. This is referred as to be complex phobia.
