What is the term for the fear of the fear itself in regards to anxiety disorders?

  1. Phobia

  2. Autophobia

  3. Somophobia

  4. Homophobia

The correct answer is: Autophobia

The term for the fear of fear itself in regards to anxiety disorders is known as autophobia. This is because autophobia refers to the fear of being alone or isolated, which is often a common symptom of anxiety disorders such as panic disorder or agoraphobia. Phobia, on the other hand, is a more general term and can refer to any fear, not specifically related to anxiety disorders. Somophobia is the fear of sexual arousal or sexual partners, and homophobia is the fear or discrimination against homosexuality, neither of which accurately describe the fear of fear itself in the context of anxiety disorders.
