Phobia

A phobia is an intense fear of certain situations, activities, things, animals, or people. When the fear is beyond your control, and interfering with daily life, then a diagnosis by a health care professional may be necessary in order to seek help.

About Phobia

Bone up on phobia definitions and laugh about funny Phobias people have. Apparently there is a name for every fear you can imagine. We have hundreds here, both real and fake, often with extra facts, comments, and even celebrities with the condition.

* Phob: Anemophobia = Fear of air. (Living in a scuba suit is no way to go through life, son.)

* Fake Phob: Siblinghurtophobia = Fear of beating up ur younger bro/sister 4 being too annoying. (sounds likely,..)

* Phob: Caligynephobia or Venustraphobia = Fear of beautiful women. (Zoinks, Scoobie, She's pretty!)

* Phob: Taphephobia or Taphophobia = Fear of being buried alive or of cemeteries. (Eeeaak! Does fear of zombie attack count?) Buffy star Sarah Michelle Geller won't film in graveyards. That's limiting 4 a vampire hunter!
