Everyone has a phobia....whats yours?
Graphophobia is the fear of writing or handwriting. The origin of the word grapho is Greek (meaning write or draw) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). Graphophobia is considered to be a specific phobia.
It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and internal predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of phobias.
As with any phobia, the symptoms vary by person depending on their level of fear. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking
Associated phobias include;
Molybiphobia – The fear of lead, lead pencils, and of a pencil.
Scriptophobia – Fear of writing in public.
