First of all, I want to send a big greeting to all the friends of steem and especially to the members of this prestigious community, today I come to share with you my second part about phobias and in this case about Ergophobia, did you know what is this type of phobias, what are its symptoms, causes and characteristics, as well as its treatment, join me to give you a better explanation.

What we know as ergophobia:

Ergophobia is a disorder that is characterized by the irrational fear of working or the sensation of being in a workplace, which causes extreme fear for the sufferer. Although working is one of the important and vital needs for all human beings, since it is an essential part of mental balance, people suffering from this phobia suffer from a diminished psychological health and can mark them for life.

Some characteristics of ergophobia:

Not being able to comply with the established working day in terms of days and hours.

It causes work stress if we do not feel comfortable with the job or if we are required to make a greater commitment.

In some cases, feelings of anxiety are experienced.

Uncontrollable fear that makes it difficult to perform effectively at work, as well as to go to the workplace causing an exaggerated discomfort.

Causes of ergophobia disorder:

Some of the most common causes for which people begin to suffer from this disorder are the product of traumatic experiences in any environment that lead to stimulate various psychological aspects and a classic conditioning to contract the disease.

It can also be the result of living through a stressful moment, which causes discomfort and a lot of anxiety to solve it.

Work phobia is considered a very complex phobia, since sometimes it can be confused with other phobias or fears, for example, some presentations or exhibitions in public, which could be confused with a social fear.

Some traumatic experiences at work as a result of teasing from colleagues.

Genetic factors, which have been proven and can be medicated to control the disorder.

This is another of the many limiting factors that, due to traumas or episodes that a person has not overcome, remain anchored in the mind and are unable to help him/her to lead a "normal" life.

No doubt the human being goes through multiple situations to be able to have a moderately calm one.
thanks for your comments

Hello @dgalan
It's the first time I read about this phobia, really the human being is really complex, because he can have to almost everything that exists in the world and each thing will have its name.
But this mental pathology must not be very frequent, I had not heard or read about it before.

Greetings @josevas217
As well as this phobia, I am sure that the human being goes through countless pressing situations that are disorders and bring difficulties for a healthy and peaceful life. I am glad that my publication has been useful for your knowledge.
Thank you very much for your comments
