Nomophobia is the fear or anxiety of being without a mobile phone or being unable to use it for some reason. The term "nomophobia" is derived from the phrase "no mobile phobia."
People with nomophobia may experience distress or anxiety
when their phone battery dies, they lose their phone, or they are in a location
with no mobile network coverage. They may also feel anxious when they cannot
access their phone due to social situations or when they are in a place where
phone use is not allowed.
Nomophobia is becoming increasingly common due to the
prevalence of smartphones and the reliance that many people have on their
devices. While it is not officially recognized as a diagnosable disorder,
nomophobia can be a source of significant distress and interfere with a
person's daily life.
