The button phobia is a practically recognized phobia and is named koumpounophobia. Obviously, koumpounophobia affects 1 of 75,000 people.

We are always facing the button. Even if we don't wear buttoned clothes, you will definitely meet someone soon. Even traveling to a shopping center is usually a pleasant experience for most people, because you search for the perfect summer top in last month's sales, or you are looking for something that can be used for birthday vouchers. . Either way, it should be a fun time, but for people with koumpounophobia, it might be the opposite. Every turn you make here has a new collection of shops in front of this season, with fancy buttons on the front; shiny, colored, various shapes and sizes. This line of sight can turn a very normal person from a very horrible person into a horrible person. Their heart rate began to soar, their bodies began to tremble, and they began to lose control. Of course, this is not the case for every koumpounophobic, because some people are slightly but still have their own problems.

There are some treatments for koumpounophobia that have achieved varying degrees of success, but depending on which method is most effective for each person, it is not necessarily valid for one party. Hypnotherapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and Reiki therapy are just a few examples.

So, when you go shopping next weekend or put on a button on a new shirt, consider people who find this task very difficult.
