1810: Beneath Every Fear Is the Fear of Death

Anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, panic disorder, depression – beneath the specific symptoms of almost every mental health condition there is a fear of death at the root. This is the conclusion of a landmark study that synthesized 129 studies across 38 countries and 58 years of research. "Death touches a nerve. Quietly, constantly. It shapes how we live, how we suffer, and how we heal." The person with OCD isn't really afraid of germs. The person with social anxiety isn't really afraid of embarrassment. What we're really afraid of is death. In this episode Raghunath and Kaustubha explore that finding alongside the Vedic tradition's answer: the panacea for mental and social disorder is spiritual knowledge. Our misidentification with the material body causes all our fear. Srimad Bhagavatm 10.38.15-21
