What is Phalacrophobia?
Phalacrophobia is the fear of becoming bald. The origin of the word Phalacrosis is Greek (meaning baldness) and phobia is Greek (meaning fear). Phalacrophobia is considered to be a specific phobia, which is discussed on the home page. The opposite of Phalacrophobia might be Trichopathophobia, Trichophobia, Chaetophobia, which all mean the fear of hair.
What are the causes?
It is generally accepted that phobias arise from a combination of external events (i.e. traumatic events) and internal predispositions (i.e. heredity or genetics). Many specific phobias can be traced back to a specific triggering event, usually a traumatic experience at an early age. Social phobias and agoraphobia have more complex causes that are not entirely known at this time. It is believed that heredity, genetics, and brain chemistry combine with life-experiences to play a major role in the development of phobias. (Wikipedia - phobia).
What are the symptoms?
As with any phobia, the symptoms vary by person depending on their level of fear. The symptoms typically include extreme anxiety, dread and anything associated with panic such as shortness of breath, rapid breathing, irregular heartbeat, sweating, excessive sweating, nausea, dry mouth, nausea, inability to articulate words or sentences, dry mouth and shaking.
Can I take medicine?
Medicine can be prescribed, but please note that these medications can have side effects and/or withdrawal systems that can be severe. It is also importation to note that medicines do not cure phobias, at best they only temporarily suppress the systems. However, there are treatments for phobias, which include counseling, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic programming.

While is it recommended that you see a specialist for a phobia. Listed below are some helpful tips, which might help you in the future.
- In order to combat fear you should take a positive approach and be mentally ready and in control at all times.
- One way to control a phobia is to ignore it, which is easier said then done. However, if you think or talk about it, then you will create more fear and anxiety, which might make the phobia worse.
- Try researching more information about your phobia. They say knowledge is power and it might help you in the long run. However, do not dwell on the phobia or is might make it worse.

- Attend discussion groups that allow you to talk about your fears. The groups allow you to develop bonds with others with phobias and let you know you are not alone.
- Surround yourself with positive and supportive people that you trust who can give you assistance and feedback on your fear.
- Order books or subscribe to magazines that provide you with information regarding your phobia or how to overcome it. One book that got positive feedback during my searches was "Anxiety, Phobias, & Panic: A Step-by-Step Program for Regaining Control of Your Life" by Reneau Peurifoy.
