Fear of mirrors = Catoptrophobia

The fear of Mirrors is defined in our Phobia Dictionary as Catoptrophobia.

Savio's Notes on this Specific Phobia
Who comes up with these phobias we will never really know but since this phobia is quite unusual very few individuals suffer from it. I am not a sadist but I would like to see the look on the face of someone who enters a house full of mirror quite by accident. Never heard of anyone close to me suffering from this phobia

This type of phobia is generally caused by low self-image & low self-esteem. Tends to show itself in the female rather than the male. This phobia has been observed in Greek & Medieval History so it's not something new.

Phobia Treatment & Prevention according to Savio
Avoid mirrors altogether until this fear has been overcome. Live in homes & work in offices where little or no glass & mirrors are used.
