The fear of water is called aquaphobia. This specific phobia can manifest as an intense and irrational fear of water bodies, including oceans, lakes, pools, or even rain. Individuals with aquaphobia may experience severe anxiety or panic attacks when exposed to water or when contemplating being near it. Treatment options for aquaphobia include therapy approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure therapy, which help individuals confront their fears in a controlled and supportive environment, ultimately enabling them to manage and overcome their fear.
