Many of us probably feel a little anxious if we leave our mobile phone behind when we head out.
But who knew there was an actual name for the phobia of not having your phone? And there are two people receiving treatment for nomophobia in the UK.
Bark.com, an online local services marketplace, surveyed more than 2000 of its therapists to reveal the most unusual phobias in Britain.
And an even more unusual one is arachibutyrophobia – the fear of peanut butter sticking to the roof of the mouth. One person is undergoing help with this.
Other rare phobias being treated include a fear of wind, of knees and of belly buttons.
