sectionis

Sectionis is a term used in the field of psychology to describe a condition in which an individual has an intense, irrational fear of being touched or kissed by another person. This fear is often disproportionate to the actual risk or harm involved. Sectionis can be a symptom of various psychological disorders, including obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and certain anxiety disorders.

The term "sectionis" is derived from the Latin word "sectio," which means "cutting" or "separation." This reflects the individual's fear of physical contact, as if they are being cut off or separated from the person they are afraid to touch or kiss.

Treatment for sectionis typically involves a combination of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and medication. CBT helps individuals identify and challenge the irrational thoughts and fears associated with sectionis, while medication may be used to manage underlying anxiety or depression.

It is important to note that sectionis is not a recognized diagnosis in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). However, it is recognized as a symptom of various psychological disorders. If you or someone else is struggling with sectionis, it is important to seek help from a mental health professional.
