School Phobia
School Phobia (sometimes called School Refusal, School Avoidance) is an intense, persistent fear of situations involving school, which makes attending and participating at school difficult or impossible. Often times, a child who struggles to attend school is suffering from anxiety and may be lacking the words to explain how they are feeling. School Phobia is typically one or more underlying specific fear, and school happens to be a place that forces the child to face that fear.
Root causes of school phobia can very from child to child and can include emetophobia (phobia of vomit or vomiting), agoraphobia (fear of situations that are difficult to escape), separation anxiety, performance anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, or contamination OCD. The good news, is all of these are typically highly treatable.
