Not surprisingly, chronophobia is often found in prison inmates or elderly people, but it can also occur in people who experience a lot of stress and anxiety.
Symptoms of chronophobia include extreme anxiety, a disturbed state of mind, the inability to comprehend time (it seems to either speed up or slow down at abnormal rates), racing thoughts and symptoms also associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. In severe cases, a full-blown panic attack may occur.
