eleuterofobia 19
More than a phobia is an anxiety disorder that a person suffers from the possibility or the fact of not depending on something or someone who makes decisions about their life, in many cases because they feel unable to do it for themselves. During the nineteenth century the definition was more literal, as this "fear of freedom" was common among freed slaves who did not know how to perform alone in society. The etymology is Greek, by 949; 955; 949; 965; 952; 949; 961; 959; 962; ( eleútheros "free" ) 966; 959; 946; 959; 962; ( fovos "fear") . See dysaethesia aethiopica, drapetomania.
