Treatment for Iatrophobia

It is important that you seek treatment as untreated iatrophobia can cause you to avoid needed medical care and put your well-being at risk.

• Some mental health providers offer services via telephone or the internet and can help you tame your phobia enough to face an in-person visit.
• Search for a mental health provider that offers services in a more homelike setting.
• A good treatment provider will work at your pace and allow you to become comfortable before moving on to treating the phobia.
• Many phobias are treated with cognitive-behavioural therapy, hypnosis, and group seminars.
