How do healthcare providers diagnose chionophobia?

Healthcare providers diagnose chionophobia and other specific anxiety disorders with a mental health evaluation. Your healthcare provider may recommend seeing a mental health professional like a psychologist for a more complete evaluation. You might have chionophobia if you have:

• Extreme anxiety when thinking about, talking about or seeing snow.
• Panic attacks or anxiety that lasts for at least six months.
• Severe worries, concerns or the inability to leave the house (agoraphobia) if it’s cold or snow is in the forecast.
• Symptoms that have a significant impact on relationships or quality of life.
