    const maxChar = this.state.max_char;
    const charLength = maxChar - charCount;
    this.setState({ chars_left: charLength });
    //this.setState({sTitle: e.target.value});
   }
   render() {
    return (
     <div>

You can try this

state = {
  Title: this.props.selectedTable.Title,
  chars_left: 50 - this.props.selectedTable.Title.length,
  max_char:50
}



handleCharacterCount= (event) => {
const charCount = event.target.value.length;
const maxChar = this.state.max_char;
const charLength = maxChar - charCount;
this.setState({ chars_left: charLength,Title: event.target.value })}



render() {
return (
 <div>
  <textArea
    type="text"
    maxLength="50"
    required
    onChange={this.handleCharacterCount}
    value={this.state.Title}/>
  />
  {
    !this.state.chars_left &&
      <p>text has to appear at 0 limit</p>
  }
  <p>{this.state.chars_left}</p>
</div>)}
