Fear is the worst cause of Depression

Fariyal Mir

The four-letter word “fear” is full of power to outrage the peace and happiness in one’s life. There is no physical form of it nor can be expressed in words. The word itself does not hold the verge to define what it causes. Fear might result from some danger or loss but many a time it induces itself without any reason.  

Basically fear is a psychological creation that overpowers some other processes of mind and leads to depression. There can be a different version of fear. There can be fear of rejection, fear of loss, fear of failure, and fear of punishment. All these forms of fear hamper the ways of every being to do something.

Fear of rejection always warns that if you fail then what would happen. It reminds one’s certain questions like: can you face yourself, your family, the society? How can you answer all the questions which will be asked of you? This fear always pushes you back to attempt something. And you procrastinate to do things on time. Though there is nothing and nothing would happen even if you fail but this fear would never allow you to do a thing of your interest and cause depression.

Whereas, the fear of loss is more dangerous than anything. Because it enslaves you into certain boundaries and you are unable to come out of them. For instance, your attachment with people bounds you to do things of their interest. Even you start living your life according to them. Because the fear of loss tells you that if you do not do then you will lose your loving circle. However, that should be the reason for any loss because every individual is different from one another. This fear sometimes creates hallucinations.

Then comes the fear of failure that holds you back with the notion that you cannot do it and make you believe that you cannot even dare to try. In reality, nothing is impossible as the word itself says as “I’m possible.”  But this fear has taken people in the reverse direction. This is the biggest cause of depression.

Fear of punishment discourages many to not share their ideas nor to talks about their performance. This fear is mostly found in children who cannot express themselves just because of the fear that they might get punishment. And it is the biggest cause of their complex personalities. Such complex personalities become the reason for high depression.

All these fears drain a being and left him/her in depression. Such people attract negativities like a magnet and consider this world as the worst place. Sometimes all these fears led them to suicide and end all the fears forever.

Everybody needs to analyze themselves regarding the presence of fears and have to reach out to some positive therapist who can help them to break the chain. Life is a one-time gift so never let the fear shadow it. This is no worldly power that can tie you because you are a free being and has the potentials to do many things.
