When the fear of cold becomes uncontrollable: two cases of frigophobia
Öz
The aim of this study is to consider cultural and behavioural factors of frigophobia development by examining undeclared frigophobia cases in Turkey. This report discusses two cases of a specific phobia (frigophobia) determined during home visits. The study suggests that raising awareness at all levels of the healthcare services in this respect and approaching the field in a multi-disciplinary team work in identifying and treatment of cases would improve the lives of individuals suffering from such phobias.
