Nosocomephobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of hospitals.
This phobia may be triggered by Nosophobia, the fear of becoming
ill. Nosocomephobia may also be
triggered by a traumatic illness, accident or the death of a loved one in a
hospital. Those who suffer from this
phobia will refuse any kind of medical treatment that has to be done in a
hospital.
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.
