Psychophobia means fear of the mind or rather fear of the mentally ill. Over history the mentally ill were accused of being possessed by demons or the devil or of being witches or warlocks or devil worshipers. In modern times when psychology was developed it was found that such people had a mental illness and no demons or any other explanations mentioned above. Yet the fear of the mentally ill continued. In some mythologies deities like Loki are called evil, but they are really misunderstood and may be suffering from some form of mental illness as an explanation for their actions and behaviors. Loki for example, might have suffered from Schizoaffective disorder or schizophrenia, and the other gods just didn't understand why he was the way he really was, and labeled him evil or a mischief maker.

any sort of depression can be tide over by faith in GOD and sincere prayer.
Your prayer is from your heart. Further You must have to understood the fact that God is present in our heart. This can be realised in meditation. Further we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation
