Elevators

A fear of elevators can be bulked into two kinds of phobias – Claustrophobia and Agoraphobia. Claustrophobia is the fear of small enclosed spaces, such as elevators. While Agoraphobia is the fear of being trapped in a situation that would be hard to escape, such as being stuck in an elevator. Both phobias can cause an intense need for treatment for anxiety and panic attacks for the person dealing with them, actress Jennifer Love Hewitt is one of those people.

There is no scientific name for this phobia but the fear of walking through revolving doors may arise from embarrassment, or the fear that one might fall, trip and embarrass or hurt oneself. Matthew McConaughey came out a few years ago with this phobia in fact.
