Introduction F ear   is a feeling induced by perceived danger or   threat   that occurs in certain types of   organisms , which causes a change in metabolic and organ functions and ultimately a change in   behavior , such as fleeing, hiding, or freezing from perceived traumatic events. Fear in human beings may occur in response to a certain   stimulus   occurring in the present, or in anticipation or expectation of a future threat perceived as a   risk   to body or life. The fear response arises from the   perception   of   danger   leading to confrontation with or escape from/avoiding the threat (also known as the   fight-or-flight response ), which in extreme cases of fear ( horror and terror ) can be a freeze response or   paralysis . In humans and animals, fear is modulated by the process of cognition and learning. Thus fear is judged as rational or appropriate and irrational or inappropriate. An irrational fear is called a phobia. Homeopathic Remedies 1: Aconite Nap .;
