Symbolophobia is the fear of symbols. Some synonyms for this condition are pseudophobia, which is the fear of false or fake things, iconophobia, which is the fear of religious images, and emblemaphobia, which is the fear of symbols and badges. These phobias share a common theme of fear towards visual representations, be it religious, political, or cultural. This fear can cause anxiety, panic attacks, and avoidance behavior, which can limit an individual's ability to function in everyday life. Treatment options for symbolophobia may include therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and medication to help manage the symptoms.
