What phobia is the phobia of elevators?

Answer 1

I believe that this phobia is currently unnamed by the scientific community. It either falls under "acrophobia" or "fear of heights" or under claustrophobia or "fear of small, enclosed spaces."

I would suggest something along the lines of sursumdeorsumphobia, which means literally, in latin, "fear of up and down" it seems to fit. Sursum is up and deorsum is down.

Answer 2

My first guess was to think of something along the lines of Claustrophobia, as many people who are afraid of elevators are scared of being stuck in a confined space for an extended amount of time.

Yeah, I have Clastrophobia. Once when I was in 5th grade we went to a museum, and when we went into a room with all these elevators I froze and couldn't breathe. I nearly toppled over...
