I’ve recently developed a condition called Amaxophobia — a specific phobia about riding in a vehicle.

“People with a specific phobia rarely apply for treatment,” he explains.

“It’s not a specific phobia, such as a fear of flying or fear of driving, although these phobias can contribute to the anxiety felt by someone with pre-trip anxiety.”

While such thoughts and behaviors are sometimes referred to as tokophobia and can be considered a specific phobia – a psychiatric diagnosis – most clinicians and researchers simply refer to it as "fear of childbirth."
