Question
i have a really irrational fear of basements. i was wondering; is there a name for
my phobia?

Answer
Hi amanda,

Fo names of phobias go to:

Names of Phobias
http://www.phobia-fear-release.com/names-of-phobia

Since we can develop a fear of any OBJECT in the world, the list ofd names for phobias can be unending, and rather pointless.

The real thing is how to overcome a phobia, whatever we are unreasonable afraid of.
