Congratulations! If you’ve made it to the end of this list, then you aren’t katastichophobic! Also known as pinaciphobia, this refers to the intense anxiety caused by making lists or listing things down, or lists, in general. 


While it is easy enough for those who do not have any of these phobias to dismiss them as irrational and unfounded, the torment is very real for those who suffer from any one of them. Phobias can rob a person of even the simplest joys of life, and must be dealt with before they lead to deep depression. 
Treatments for phobias include talk therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, medication, exposure therapy, among other methods.

With the right clinical diagnosis and expert treatment, phobia sufferers can go on to live free from the clutches of their formidable fears.
