Tomorrow will be held in Madrid amaxofobia a course or what is the same, driving panic, a psychological syndrome that affects about 33 percent of Spanish drivers and has increased over the last year as a result of the economic crisis, according Europa Press said the course director, Javier Diaz Calero.
The business class of the Business School on Calle Valverde, welcome from 8.00 am a seminar on hand syndrome Diaz, a clinical psychologist, driving instructor and responsible for the website ‘Driving without fear’, in collaboration with the Madrid Union Road Training Workers.
As explained by the expert, you do not need to develop amaxofobia accident, but “in most cases,” panic and anxiety attacks suffered by people with this Panic Away syndrome each time you get into a car ” due to personal or work situations that generate stress very intense. ”
The amaxofobia is “an intense fear that you experience when you are driving and completely blocks their ability to respond” to be his “only wish to give up driving.” Therefore, we must differentiate this disorder from fear felt by some novice drivers when they get behind the wheel of a vehicle or “small doses of driving anxiety” experienced by many drivers.
Contrary to what might appear, the most frequent amaxofobia are not people who have suffered an accident or who can not drive well, but “the most important group of experienced drivers affected are in excess of ten or twelve years of driving, normal driving and in a moment of your life without any problems, they begin to experience anxiety attacks in the vehicle. ”
“Crisis of anxiety in most cases are due to personal or work situations that generate intense stress,” says the psychologist, who noted that people with this syndrome “are usually people who manage to keep the city driving, but feel unable to drive on freeways or highways “to the point of being unable to do so.
Psychological treatment for this syndrome is the “exposure” or whatever it is, make the driver will face your fear until it disappears, although, if treatment is successful, it may be the opposite effect and panic worse.
