Apotemnophobia is the intense fear of amputees or of the possibility of becoming an amputee oneself. This specific phobia can lead to significant anxiety and distress when encountering individuals with amputations or even thinking about the concept of amputation. Like other phobias, it may stem from traumatic experiences or deep-seated fears and can impact a person's daily life and social interactions. Treatment often involves therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, to help manage and reduce the fear.
