Cleithrophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of being
locked in an enclosed place. This one I
can relate to a certain extent. I hate
having to get in an elevator because I fear that I will get stuck in it. If I get locked in a room I instantly panic. I can’t even watch someone on television
stuck in an enclosed space because it makes me nauseous. Cleithrophobia is also known as
Cleisiophobia.
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.
