Dementopobia is the abnormal and persistent
fear of insanity. Those who suffer from
this phobia feel they are losing touch with reality. Dementophobia can be triggered by a family
history of mental illness or severe stress.
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.

I suffer from this. My family does not have any knowledge of insanity being in our bloodline but K feel like am slowly losing my grip. I am 14 and even though I am young I still feel like I am fading off. Most people think nothing of if but I am afraid that I am losing my mind!I have learned to cope with myself over the years am thing have gotten easier but it is still something I work with though out my day's.
Well. I am 16 my friend and I suffer from the same thing. It never truly subsides but it can get very easy to tolerate at times. But at others like now its pretty difficult. I don't fully understand this yet but I am getting a grip on it. It sucks terribly and honestly I wish the thought never entered my head. But you know bad things happen.
