Bathmophobia – Fear of stairs
Staircases have made and marred a lot of people. While many enjoy the thrill of climbing an array of stairs, others despise it and even have a genuine fear of climbing staircases; this genuine fear is called bathmophobia.
People with bathmophobia may be afraid of falling down stairs or a steep incline after experiencing a traumatic accident involving a fall or injury with stairs. Visiting a psychotherapist can help people overcome this fear of stairs.
