Motorphobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of automobiles or traveling by automobile. There are three elements to this phobia.
Claustrophobia, the fear of confined spaces, is the first element. This can be caused by just being in the car
and can be aggravated by traffic jams and high volumes of traffic on multilane
streets. The second element is a fear of
crashing and the third element is a fear of not being in control.
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.
