Carcinphobia, is said to be one of the most common of all phobias. Recent research by the charity Cancer Research, shows that over a quarter of people in the world are afraid of cancer as their number one worry.

One of the most common symptoms of Carcinophobia is headache, which most people suffering from this phobia misinterpret as a brain tumor. And as a result of the irrational fear, people suffer more intensely. Other common symptoms of this phobia are:

  • Inability to speak and think properly
  • Queasiness
  • Infrequent heartbeat
  • Shortness of breath
  • Rapid breathing
  • Feeling of dread etc.
  • There are a number of treatments available but the most sad part is that these treatments take months or even years to completely get rid of the phobia. But, if the right treatment, is done in the right way, then Carcinophobia can be treated in just 10 minutes a day. It is one such disorder that can ruin your life and harm your relationship with your family and business associates.
