What is Cremnophobia?
Fear of precipices.
The type of challenges met with today, however, are rather different and, as they rarely require a physical response, the body's reaction to the situation is often inappropriate.
Also, the stresses of modern life are more complex and last over longer periods of time. In the past, challenges had to be resolved instantaneously; today, people are subjected to long-term emotional, occupational and environmental anxieties, which keep them in an almost perpetual state of fight or flight.
