Overdrive at any precaution has some effects those doesn’t go so well with human psychology. Past instances revealed that, any such overdrive led to a kind of clinical depression ultimately resulting in irrationality and, of course depression.
It can well be described as a sort of Mysophobia usually born out of the overdrives.
For example, at present we are all seized with a awareness over hand-washing, Although there is nothing so novel about it as we all have grown with such hygiene tips from childhood but, somehow and sometime, we missed out on it in our hectic life-styles. So the reminders have already gone deeper.
Any constant pursuit on such cautions have their adverse impact. But disproportionate dose of reminders over, even, hand-washing carefulness towards the contamination can lead to Mysophobia.
Mysophobia, as a state of mind, usher in a irrational fear of dirt and contamination , is good for a specific purpose, but a constant reminder, admittedly, lead to extra worries resulting in even mental depressions, which triggers a situation when it hampers one’s normal resolves making someone suffer from loss of mental immunity. An tertiary that can help play a catalyst for even COVID-19 like virus or any such virality.
People have already come to know about the dos and donts and there has to be a let-up at this juncture to ward off the phobia overdoses.
It can well be the case when we look back at the overdrives at the portrayal of the scary aspects of COVID. Time and again, with an unfailing regularity, harping on one thing, this or that, has reasons to impact on the psyche of all, be it a kid or grown up.
Such rants, day in and day out, not only weaken one’s composer but, as psychologists would have us believe that, it can lead to an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder(OCD) coming from forced habits on an individual, whosoever.
Overdrives lead to Mysophobia
Experts have the logic that, OCD, now being over-driven by all, through official agencies, media and more vigorously so, by the Whatsaap world, it has a complex set of factors at its ‘ etiological’ side, like ‘neuro-chemical imbalances, genetic malformations and personality structure’.
Imagine the load of such overdrives on a tender mind of the children and the larger community that is, so far, away from the contamination of COVID-19 (which mostly got manifested among a creamy layer only).
A larger mass that is homeless and grounded deep in hygiene lack deserve a look more than others as well. It should be underwritten that, difference between awareness and scare-mongering are not the same.
