There does not appear to be a scientific term to describe the fear of tape.

If your fear begins to negatively affect the quality of your life, or your happiness, then please consult with a doctor to help you to address your fear.

Clinical depression is more than just the blues. It's a serious illness, and it affects more young people than parents realize. Each year, four out of every 100 teens become severely depressed. By adulthood, one in five young people will have experienced depression.

Depression is especially common among teens and young adults who have attention deficit disorder (ADD ADHD). In many cases, ADHD-related problems at school and with family and friends trigger depression by undermining a child's self-esteem. This is called "secondary" depression, because it arises as the aftermath of another problem - including ADHD. Depression can also be secondary to learning difficulties or substance abuse. Secondary depression is typically triggered at a specific point in time and can be directly linked to specific life experiences. "Primary" depression arises independently of life experiences. It typically occurs in children who have a family history of depression, and it tends to recur. About half of all children who have ADHD have trouble regulating their emotions, and this problem can also lie at the root of primary depression. The good news is that effective help is available. As a parent, you must be aware of your child's feelings and behavior. If a teacher, friend, or anyone else suggests that your child is depressed, don't take offense. Take action. Consult your family doctor. If he or she cannot recommend a psychiatrist, psychologist, or clinical social worker who is trained to work with children and adolescents, seek referrals from friends, a school counselor, or your health insurance directory. The best remedy for depression depends upon the cause of the problem. Let me introduce you to three children I've treated for depression (names have been changed) and show you how treatment differed in each case. Jimmy was always in trouble at school. His teacher constantly had to tell the fourth-grader to sit still, pay attention, and raise his hand before speaking. Home was no better. "I hate my life," he told his mother. Once he said, "I'm so bad, maybe you should just send me away." At my first evaluation of Jimmy, it was clear that he was depressed. It was also clear that he had untreated AD/HD. I sensed that his depression was secondary - resulting from years of experiencing negative reactions to his untreated hyperactivity, inattention, and impulsivity. Once he began taking the stimulant I prescribed, Jimmy's behavior improved. He was happier. He stopped his negative talk and started playing with friends again. Treatment for the AD/HD was all he needed. Another patient of mine, 13-year-old Louise, was already taking AD/HD medication. With the help of her 504 Plan and a tutor, she was getting good grades. But she seemed unhappy. She had been ignoring her friends and had given up activities she once loved, her mom told me. I could see that Louise was depressed. Her parents had separated recently, and I suspected that that might be the cause of her trouble. I prescribed an antidepressant and initiated therapy. In our sessions, she spoke of her sadness over the breakup of her family - and the fact that her father had moved in with the woman with whom he had been having an affair. Over time, as we talked about her family, Louise's depression lifted. She stopped therapy but stayed on the antidepressant for six months. When it was phased off, she showed no more signs of depression. Full article at http://www.additudemag.com/adhd/article/1015.html

That would be OCD, or, obsessive-compulsive disorder......but the disorder has many different forms of symptoms or "rituals" that someone can suffer from.

It is the obsessive preoccupation with numbers.

then they will learn how to use their left hand and after a long period of time forget how to use their right hand.

when one is dealing with panic attacks the brain usually gets "overworked" and releases hormons that can cause a sensation of unreality, or a feeling of being detached and tire one out afterwards - sometimes the feeling will stay even days after a panic attack.

There is nothing dangerous about this even though it can be extremly unplesant.

i experienced a similar situation a couple of years back and know how it feels. the best thing you can do besides seeing a theapist about it - is exercising and try to think about something else - then the feeling will slowly fade.

you need a good massage and just relax, you need to lift all the stress from your mind and rest a lot, chill!

Well, it all depends on how your mom's way of life or mood is. If she doesn't mind being crazy (in a good way,) then you can have a blast with her!!

Try gouging your eyes out and then eat a bowl of rice

Yes, some can. These people are actually in great mental anguish and I've seen men put their fist through a window or bang their head on a wall. Some have hit walls with their fists so hard they have broken bones in their hand. Women who abuse are great throwers of objects; will cut themselves (superficial cuts) or even go so far as to cut their long hair in chunks. They will hit, slap, and bite if given half the chance, not to mention kick like a mule. Until these abusers get help (they usually will deny they need help) then it's best people stay away from them. Marcy

You can avoid a nervous knot in your throat by taking deep breaths before you do something that makes you nervous. You might try some relaxation techniques like mediation to keep that nervousness in check.

You can't. But what you can do is try and keep busy and not be too concerned about them because the more fear you put behind the thoughts that they won't go away, the more vivid they will become and alarming they will be. The less you worry about a normal brain's reaction to a fearful event, the quicker your mind will settle down- this may take many weeks, and still may appear from time to time despite your best efforts to remain calm and let them pass. Time will fix them.

To me it just means your fantasizing,that you are using the faces of those you know to well,fill in the spaces to help heighten the fantasy.you must remember these are harmless thoughts until you act out on them.keep in mind these people may not return the affection.

The fear of edges? Not sure if there is one. Could you be referring to acrophobia (fear of heights)?
