Шаблон:Infobox medical condition (new)
Hodophobia is an irrational fear, or phobia, of travel.[1][2]
Hodophobia should not be confused with travel aversion.[3][4]
Acute anxiety provoked by travel can be treated with anti-anxiety medication.[5][6] The condition can be treated with exposure therapy, which works better when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.[5][6]
Signs and symptoms
People with fear of traveling experience intense, persistent fear or anxiety when they think about traveling and/or during travel.[7][8] They will avoid travel if they can, and the fear, anxiety, and avoidance cause significant distress and impair their ability to function.[7][8]

- Agoraphobia - fear of leaving safe places
Cause
The causes of hodophobia and the mechanisms by which it is maintained are often complex, as with many phobias.[7][9]
Diagnosis
The diagnosis is clinical.[7] It is often difficult to determine if the specific phobia of hodophobia should be the primary diagnosis, or if it is a symptom of a generalized anxiety disorder or another anxiety disorder.[7][10]
Classification
Hodophobia is a specific phobia as classified in the DSM-5.[11]
Management
Acute anxiety caused by travel can be treated with anti-anxiety medication.[5][6] The condition can also be treated with exposure therapy which works better when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.[5][6][12] Relaxation techniques and education can also be helpful in combination with other approaches.[8][12][13]
Society and culture
Sigmund Freud, the famous neurologist and the founder of psychoanalysis, confessed in a number of letters that he suffered from fear of travel.[14] He used the term "Reiseangst" for it, which means "travel anxiety" or "fear of travel" in the German language.[15] However Freud's anxiety was not a "true" phobia.[15]
