Effects of Fear and Phobias
November 7, 2008
The films watch, especially before bed time, can give nightmares no matter how brave we think we are. There are some whose effects are so bad that it makes our blood pressure rise to unhealthy levels. Some films can make us develop certain phobias that will remain with us for the rest of our lives. Read on to find the effects of phobias can have on you.
Psychological Terrors
Voluntarily watching a scary movie at night can do a lot of damage to you. It could create permanent psychological and even physical problems. A research by the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and the University of Wisconsin, Madison, found that out of 150 college students who watch scary movies, more than a quarter experienced what is termed residual anxiety. The effects of this condition range from insomnia for months and avoiding constantly situations similar to those portrayed in the film.
Adrenaline
Adrenaline is a powerful hormone that, when secreted, can make even the scrawniest person perform incredible tasks. It is usually released by the body during fearful situations. But when you watch a scary film, and you get so much engrossed in it, the body sees what is on screen as real, and therefore secrets this hormone. Adrenaline has negative effects. It can cause your blood pressure to rise suddenly abnormally. This can lead to cardiac problems. The only good thing is that it is quickly cleared out of the body. But consistent exposure can really harm the body.
How phobias are created
Movie writers and producers like playing on what we fear. They take things you already fear like the tarantula and spin it so that it becomes more fearful. Other audio effects in the film reinforce the phobia. If you know you have a phobia for something, don’t watch a film that contains such a thing. Some of those fears can develop long term phobias.
The only thing to do is to face your fears and deal with them. Phobias are not easily dealt with. The best thing is to deal with the fear before it becomes a phobia.
