They have Enochlophobia- and it is a common social phobia that is known to affect many people today. Women tend to be affected by it more than men.Every case of Enochlophobia is different and depends on the thoughts and images the individual associates the large crowds with. This is mainly due to different thinking patterns of each phobic. Thus, there is no one cause for the fear of crowds but most experts blame genetics, biochemical irregularities, stressful or traumatic life events and inaccurate beliefs for the fear of crowds.
