Death because of fear

There are a lot of psychologists that agree that fear may kill people. Fear is always the stress for the organism and a great tension on the heart and nervous system.

The probability of the death because of fear is very high in closed societies where the beliefs in curses are rather spread. If you live in tribes of Australia or you have visited Haiti, then you have a lot of chances to suffer from the fear of curses. But of course everything depends on the person and his/her beliefs in magic and magical phenomena.

Those who were at the limit of death and life will never forget it. And the question is what traces it leaves in the psyche of a person. But the fact that may be said for sure is that it is going to reflect on the person's health.

A person that suffers from constant uncontrolled fear, depression, disorders of dream looses his/her ability to live normal life and to work properly.

Researches held in the USA show that people who suffer from uncontrolled fear have some changes in the brain; abilities of memory get worse in particular.

Fear is protective reaction of the organism that was got from prehistoric times. On one hand it is necessary to survive. But on the other hand if to feel constant fear for a long time, it won't allow people to live normal life that may lead to suicide.

But scientists don't even try to invent some kind of cure to treat fear and to help people get rid of it. But some experiments are still held in this field. For example, scientists managed to make mice that are not afraid of anyone and anything. Maybe it is time to try to do the same with people.
