A member asked:
What is the name for having a fear or phobia of not being able to be in or losing control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loss of control: We all like to think we are competent individuals who are in control of ourselves and our lives. But for those who suffer from panic attacks, a very great fear is the loss of control while having an attack. This is a common dread, and it's something that should be addressed. Putting the fear to rest will go a long way towards reducing your anxiety and panicky feelings.
