How common is thanatophobia? how can i cope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thanatophobia: Thanatophobia is the second most common phobia. It falls right behind glossophobia- which is the fear of public speaking. CBT and anti-anxiety medications have helped many people with these fears. Please note, medications do not cure the problem. I suggest you speak to your internist and get some recommendations for therapists who are trained in CBT and who work on reducing phobic reactions.
