Panphobia, also called omniphobia, Pantophobia or Panophobia, is a medical condition known as a "non-specific fear"; the sufferer finds himself in a state of fear but with no known target, and therefore no easy remedy. It has been described as "a vague and persistent [dread] of some unknown evil".[1]

It is officially recognised by the National Institute of Health's Office of Rare Disease.

Panophobia is most frequently found as a secondary condition to schizophrenia.
