Emetophobia is a strong, uncontrollable fear of being physically ill. The stress caused by the very idea of vomiting can make a person with the condition reluctant to engage in normal activities. Drinking alcohol, riding in a car, and flying in a plane are all sources of major anxiety for an emetophobic individual.
In a video from a UK morning broadcast, a brave woman comes forward to talk about how emetophobia has affected her lifestyle. A psychologist also offers her expertise on the condition and how it can be treated.
