Can you live without your mobile phone? Are you scared to live without your mobile phone? If your answers to these questions were no and yes, respectively, then you have nomophobia, it's one of the lesser-known phobias, and that is why people do not talk about it. It is a fairly new phobia considering that mobile phones are not even 50 years old. Nomophobia literally expands to no mobile phobia, which means a person suffering from this phobia can not imagine living without his/her mobile phone.
This is not just the phobia of living without a mobile, it's also a phobia of living without a working mobile phone or without the internet. With all this information we can guess the generation which is the most affected by this: Generation Z. GenZ is the most affected by this because they have accessed technology from a fairly young age. Nowadays, most kids can not calm down without watching something or playing on their mobile phones.
Nomophobia is not recognized as a disorder yet, but seeing its exponential growth we are sure that one day nomophobia is going to be a very common disorder
