Kainolophobia: The Fear of Anything New or of Novelty


Kainolophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of anything new or of novelty.  This phobia may be caused by unwillingness to break a routine.
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.
