Cause of Agrizoophobia:

Like all other anxiety and phobias, Agrizoophobia is created by the unconscious mind as a protective mechanism. Agrizoophobia develops at some point in your past, where there was likely an event linking insanity or becoming insane and emotional trauma.

Attaching emotions to situations is one of the primary ways that humans learn. Sometimes we just get the wiring wrong. But so long as the negative association is powerful enough, the unconscious mind thinks persistently. Whilst the original catalyst may have been a real-life trauma of some kind, the condition can also be triggered by myriad, benign events like movies or perhaps seeing someone else facing/ experience trauma.

The actual phobia manifests itself in different ways. Some sufferers experience it almost all the time, others just in response to direct stimuli. Everyone has their own unique formula for when and how to feel bad.
