Topophobia: The Fear of Certain Places or Situations


Topophobia is the abnormal and persistent fear of certain places or situations.  The best example of this phobia is having stage fright.
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.
