The Phobia List


The fear of heights is called acrophobia. The fear of depth is called bathophobia. But do you know what ouranophobia is? What about melissophobia? Gnosiophobia? If these are unknown to you, then you need to spend some time today's Warped site. It has all of the answers.

The name of the site The Phobia List. Here is one of the most complete collections of phobia, and what they stand for. But in addition to that information, there is also links to explain how they are named, the categories of phobias, what sort of treatment is available of them, an a new poster listing them. There is also a place for some unreal phobias, such as fruitoftheloomphobia (fear of underwear).

This site is one that has a lot of information, and some of it is presented in a light hearted way. But having this information can be helpful, especially if you or someone you know if afflicted with one of these. The Warped rating of this site is 7.0.
