How do I manage or treat chronophobia?

Chronophobia treatments include:

• Psychotherapy, or talk therapy. This is the main treatment for chronophobia anxiety. Your healthcare provider helps you understand your fears and works with you to overcome them.
• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches you to think about the phobia in a different way. It also helps you gain more control over how you respond to it.
• Hypnotherapy, which helps you reframe your concerns and manage fear. While your mind is in a calm state, your healthcare provider offers strategies to relax.
• Meditation and yoga, which can control anxiety. Your healthcare provider may also give you exercises for mindfulness and breathing.

There isn’t a medication to treat chronophobia. But some medications can help control panic attacks or treat mental health disorders. If you have depression or other mood disorders, talk to your healthcare provider about medications that may be right for you.
