Myctophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of darkness.
This phobia is extremely common in children, but it often occurs in
adults too. The fear of the unknown
lurking in the darkness and horror movies are usually the most common triggers
of Myctophobia. Myctophobia is also
known as Noctiphobia and Lygophobia.
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.
