Xanthophobia is the fear of yellow, a real aversion towards it that leads those who suffer from it to detest it.
Not to be confused, however, with a slight dislike for this color. In fact, since it is a phobia, we are talking about a debilitating and oppressive fear that can cause a series of annoying symptoms.
Since it is a very common color, it can be particularly difficult for people with xanthophobia to avoid and this can severely interfere with daily activities.
Xanthophobia: cause

According to reports from Fearof, since it is a phobia linked to color, it can depend on both physiological reasons and psychological causes, such as trauma or negative events experienced in the past, related to yellow.
For example, a person who was attacked by someone wearing a yellow dress might develop it. Sometimes it can worsen due to cultural conditioning, if the yellow has a predominantly negative meaning.

Those suffering from xanthophobia can experience various symptoms when they see yellow, from dizziness to tremors, from anxiety to the fear of going crazy. Here are some of the most frequent reported by Fearof:
- Dizziness
- Feeling of suffocation
- Tremors
- Increased heart rate, palpitations
- Chest tightness
- Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea
- Hot flashes, excessive sweating
- Numbness, tingling sensations
And again symptoms such as strong anxiety, fear of going crazy and losing control, desire to escape, fear of death, feeling of grave danger, dissociation, avoidance of yellow things.

Like many other phobias, xanthophobia can be more or less severe and consequently require different treatments depending on the case. To resolve it, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy or others can be used, to be agreed with a professional.
