Do you have fear of dying?

☺️☺️☺️

Death anxiety is not defined as a distinct disorder, but it may be linked to other depression or anxiety disorders. These include:

post-traumatic stress disorder or PTSD

panic disorders and panic attacks

illness anxiety disorders, previously called hypochondriasis

Thanatophobia is different from necrophobia, which is a general fear of dead or dying things, or things associated with death.

The fear of death is considered a phobia if the fear:

arises almost every time a person thinks about dying

persists for more than 6 months

gets in the way of everyday life or relationships
