What is cherophobia?
Cherophobia is a phobia where a person has an irrational aversion to being happy. The term comes from the Greek word "chero," which means "to rejoice." When a person experiences cherophobia, they're often afraid to participate in activities that many would characterize as fun, or of being happy.
This condition is one that's not widely researched or defined. Psychiatrists most commonly use criteria in the new edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) to diagnose mental health conditions. Currently, the DSM-5 doesn't list cherophobia as a disorder. However, there are some mental health experts that discuss this phobia and its potential treatments.
What are the symptoms of cherophobia?
experiencing anxiety at the thought of going to a joyful social gathering, like a party, concert, or other similar event
rejecting opportunities that could lead to positive life changes due to fear that something bad will follow
refusal to participate in activities that most would call fun
Some of the key thoughts a person who experiences cherophobia may express include:
Being happy will mean something bad will happen to me.
Happiness makes you a bad or worse person.
Showing that you're happy is bad for you or for your friends and family.
Trying to be happy is a waste of time and effort.
