What are the complications of autophobia (monophobia)?

It isn’t practical to expect someone to always be with you. It can affect your self-esteem, career, relationships and social life. You may find yourself staying in an unhealthy or even abusive relationship to avoid being alone. You may demand that friends or family don’t leave, which can harm relationships. Or you may obsessively check up on a partner out of fear of being left.

In addition, autophobia increases your risk for:

  • Depression.
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
  • Substance use disorder.
