Fear is a painful emotion caused by danger or thought of danger. it is a necessary part of life. as courage puts life in danger, fear preserves it.

Fear is not to be ashamed of, it is a protection against risks and prompts us to take action when life is in danger. for eg., if a man slips and falls in the middle of a busy road, the fear of being run over by a vehicle will prompt him to take immediate action, thus somehow he will get up and run off for safety.

Fear is of two kinds,rational fear and chronic anxiety which amounts to panic which we call Phobia meaning Fear.

Phobias are irrarational and exagerrated.

Will power helps man to conquer fear. Develop will power and face problems that arise without fear. to overcome phobias Behaviour therapy is good.It treats the symptom by exposing the patient gradually to the thing which he fears.
