Nostophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of returning home.
This phobia is closely related to Damatophobia, the fear of houses and
Ecophobia, Oecaphobia and Oikophobia, which all mean the fear of houses, home
surroundings and being in a house.
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.
