Ancraophobia, also known as anemophobia, is an extreme fear of wind or drafts. It has many different effects on the human brain. It can cause panic attacks for those who have the fear, and can make people miss out on regular everyday activities such as going outside.
==Origin== Anyone can be born with this disorder or get it later in life. This phobia is most commonly the result of psychological trauma caused by a negative experience with wind in the affected person's past. The experience may be remembered, or it may be "imprinted" on the subconscious mind of the traumatized person.
