Φόβων (Fear) is a basic human emotion that arises in response to perceived threats or danger. It triggers a physiological response, often referred to as the "fight or flight" response, which prepares the body to either confront or escape from the threat. This emotion can be experienced in various forms, such as anxiety, phobias, or panic attacks, and can significantly impact daily life. Fear can be categorized into two types: acute and chronic. Acute fear is a temporary response to an immediate threat, while chronic fear persists over time, often without a clear cause. Understanding and managing fear is essential for mental health, and various therapeutic approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, can help individuals cope with their fears effectively.
