What Is Nomophobia?

The fear or anxiety of being without your mobile phone or being unable to use it.

Short for "no-mobile-phone phobia," nomophobia affects an estimated 66% of people. Symptoms include anxiety when your phone is low on battery, panic when you can't find your phone, and inability to turn off your phone. It's considered a modern condition driven by our increasing dependence on smartphones for communication, navigation, entertainment, and work.
