What Is Travel Anxiety?

Travel anxiety is fairly common and it is basically a fear of travelling. The most common transport fear is flying and many people get extremely worked up over just the idea of flying, and many avoid it as much as possible. However, travel anxiety is not just associated with flying; it could also be travelling on a train, in a car, in a taxi or any other vehicle.
As for what triggers it, it could be something that has happened in the past. An accident for example could be a major cause for the anxiety, or perhaps you know somebody who has had an accident? The news also plays a big part in travel anxiety as people hear of crashes and accidents all of the time. Or, the anxiety could be caused by your own opinions. It varies from person to person, as does the severity level of the problem. There are ways of coping with it so if you feel you may be suffering from it, talk to your doctor and see what they can do for you.
