The hypha phobia (from Greek iatròs, "doctor", and phóbos, "fear") is a specific phobia, literally the fear of doctors or health care staff in general or just those who wear a coat or a hospital uniform (dentists , pharmacists, obstetricians, nurses ...). The concept is very heterogeneous and the phobia takes on different shades depending on the person who suffers: fear can only be limited to the act of going to the doctor or being extended to anything that concerns health. In cases of greater gravity, the subject refuses any practice that is related to the medical field such as blood testing, pressure control or drug intake (phobia in the specific case is called chemophobia, that is, fear of assume any chemical synthesis).

Treatment of phobia is very difficult because of the very nature of fear. In more severe cases, the patient refuses any intervention by a professional figure, even a psychologist, who will be identified as a "doctor" indiscriminately. In these limit cases it is also impossible to achieve a positive compliance with the anxiolytic assumption in a possible pharmacological approach to therapy. Links externalize the wikitesto
