Emetophobia

Emetophobia, or the fear of vomiting, is a common anxiety disorder that affects many individuals.

People with emetophobia experience intense distress and fear at the thought of vomiting or seeing others vomit.

This fear can lead to avoidance of certain situations, such as social gatherings or public places, and can significantly impact daily life.

Common symptoms of emetophobia include panic attacks, rapid heartbeat, sweating, shortness of breath, trembling, and a strong urge to escape or avoid the trigger.

About the Emetophobia Test

This emetophobia test actually measures the severity of emetophobic thinking rather than being designed to assess the presence of emetophobia per se.

The questions have been designed to test emetophobia-related ideation and behaviours across three specific domains:

  1. Cognition (thoughts) related to emetophobia.
  2. Active safety behaviours and avoidance strategies.
  3. Social anxiety regarding having emetophobia.

By taking this test you will be given a result that indicates the degree of severity based on your responses.
