Ombrophobia is the
abnormal and persistent fear of rain or of being rained on. This phobia may be caused by a fear of
disease or sickness. Many of us were
told as children that if we played in the rain we would get sick. Another cause may be a depression that is associated
with dark gloomy rainy days.
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.
