Nomophobia: The Fear of Being Out of Mobile Contact


Nomophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

A phobia is a strong, persistent fear of situations, objects, activities or persons.  The main symptom is an excessive and unreasonable desire to avoid the feared subject. Other phobia symptoms include shortness of breath, irregular heartbeat, sweating, nausea, and an overall feeling of dread.  Phobias are the most common form of anxiety disorders.
