A-Z Of Phobias by Gbagura: 8:07am On Mar 23, 2021 |
The American Psychiatric Association (APA) identifies three different categories of phobias: social phobias, agoraphobia, and specific phobias. These names themselves are often formed by taking a Greek prefix that represents the fear object and adding the -phobia suffix. Because of this, any attempt at a completely exhaustive list of phobias would simply be an exercise in futility. Any list of phobias could grow with the addition of newly coined terms for previously unnamed specific phobias. A Achluophobia - Fear of darkness Acrophobia - Fear of heights Aerophobia - Fear of flying Algophobia - Fear of pain Agoraphobia - Fear of open spaces or crowds Aichmophobia - Fear of needles or pointed objects Amaxophobia - Fear of riding in a car Androphobia - Fear of men Anginophobia - Fear of angina or choking Anthrophobia - Fear of flowers Anthropophobia - Fear of people or society Aphenphosmphobia - Fear of being touched Arachibutyrophobia - Fear of peanut butter Arachnophobia - Fear of spiders Arithmophobia - Fear of numbers Astraphobia - Fear of thunder and lightning Ataxophobia - Fear of disorder or untidiness Atelophobia - Fear of imperfection Atychiphobia - Fear of failure Automatonophobia - Fear of Human-Like Figures Autophobia - Fear of being alone B Bacteriophobia - Fear of bacteria Barophobia - Fear of gravity Bathmophobia - Fear of stairs or steep slopes Batrachophobia - Fear of amphibians Belonephobia - Fear of pins and needles Bibliophobia - Fear of books Botanophobia - Fear of plants C Cacophobia - Fear of ugliness Catagelophobia - Fear of being ridiculed Catoptrophobia - Fear of mirrors Chionophobia - Fear of snow Chromophobia - Fear of colors Chronomentrophobia - Fear of clocks Chronophobia - Fear of Time Claustrophobia - Fear of confined spaces Coulrophobia - Fear of clowns Cyberphobia - Fear of computers Cynophobia - Fear of dogs D Dendrophobia - Fear of trees Dentophobia - Fear of dentists Domatophobia - Fear of houses Dystychiphobia - Fear of accidents E Ecophobia - Fear of the home Elurophobia - Fear of cats Entomophobia - Fear of insects Ephebiphobia - Fear of teenagers Equinophobia - Fear of horses G Gamophobia - Fear of marriage Genuphobia - Fear of knees Glossophobia - Fear of speaking in public Gynophobia - Fear of women H Haphephobia - Fear of touch Heliophobia - Fear of the sun Hemophobia - Fear of blood Herpetophobia - Fear of reptiles Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia - Fear of long words Hydrophobia - Fear of water Hypochondria - Fear of illness I Iatrophobia - Fear of doctors Insectophobia - Fear of insects K Koinoniphobia - Fear of rooms Koumpounophobia - Fear of buttons L Leukophobia - Fear of the color white Lilapsophobia - Fear of tornadoes and hurricanes Lockiophobia - Fear of childbirth M Mageirocophobia - Fear of cooking Megalophobia - Fear of large things Melanophobia - Fear of the color black Microphobia - Fear of small things Mysophobia - Fear of dirt and germs N Necrophobia - Fear of death or dead things Noctiphobia - Fear of the night Nosocomephobia - Fear of hospitals Nyctophobia - Fear of the dark O Obesophobia - Fear of gaining weight Octophobia - Fear of the figure 8 Ombrophobia - Fear of rain Ophidiophobia - Fear of snakes Ornithophobia - Fear of birds P Papyrophobia - Fear of paper Pathophobia - Fear of disease Pedophobia - Fear of children Philematophobia - Fear of Kissing Philophobia - Fear of love Phobophobia - Fear of phobias Podophobia - Fear of feet Porphyrophobia - Fear of the color purple Pteridophobia - Fear of ferns Pteromerhanophobia - Fear of flying Pyrophobia - Fear of fire S Samhainophobia - Fear of Halloween Scolionophobia - Fear of school Scoptophobia - Fear of being stared at Selenophobia - Fear of the moon Sociophobia - Fear of social evaluation Somniphobia - Fear of sleep T Tachophobia - Fear of speed Technophobia - Fear of technology Tonitrophobia - Fear of thunder Trypanophobia - Fear of needles/injections Trypophobia - Fear of Holes V-Z Venustraphobia - Fear of beautiful women Verminophobia - Fear of germs Wiccaphobia - Fear of witches and witchcraft Xenophobia - Fear of strangers or foreigners Zoophobia - Fear of animals https://www.verywellmind.com/list-of-phobias-2795453 |
