Now, here's a term for you - "Politicophobia."  Do you know what it is?  Believe it or not, it's an actual, albeit rare, fear of politics.

Maybe politics isn't something that freaks you out, but is there something else that makes you so afraid that you actually try to avoid it?





According to the WNBC/Marist Poll, 39% of the adults in our area say they have a phobia.



Of those,
52% say it’s serious enough to limit their activity.



But, only 13% have sought professional help to overcome it.
