Hi Nyctophobia is an extreme fear of night or darkness that can cause intense symptoms of anxiety and depression. A fear becomes a phobia when it's excessive, irrational, or impacts your day-to-day life. Being afraid of the dark often starts in childhood and is viewed as a normal part of development. Nevertheless proper assessment will be beneficial And we can start counseling and therapy Consult with me or any psychologist for therapy and counseling online All the best

For proper diagnosis a meeting with a psychiatrist is needed. There seems to be a problem if it is affecting your daily life, but it is curable.

Hi you will benefit from counselling or psychological therapy.

How you respond to your fear decides what it will do to you! If responded well, fear can be beneficial, that is what its purpose is! You definitely need to learn how to respond to your fears so that they wont trouble you anymore. For short term you may need some medications but for longterm, it is you who need to learn. And for changing your learnt negative responses to the positive ones, you can take a help from a mental health proffesional preferably a team of a Psychiatrist and a Psychologist working together! Be affirmative! Hope it helps! :)
