How is barophobia diagnosed?

There aren’t any tests to diagnose the fear of gravity. Your healthcare provider can diagnose the condition based on discussions with you about:

• Your symptoms.
• How long they’ve been happening.
• How they interfere in your life.

You may have a specific phobic disorder if you have:

• Feelings of severe fear or anxiety when you think about gravity.
• Daily fear of gravity that lasts for at least six months.
• Symptoms that come on anytime you think about gravity.
• Changes in behaviors intended to help you avoid phobia triggers.
• Poor quality of life due to phobia symptoms.
