'''Cleithrophobia''' (from Greek ''cleithro'', "to shut or to close") (also known as '''cleithrophobia''' or '''cleisiophobia''') is the fear of being trapped or being locked in an enclosed space. The individuals suffering from this fear might be able to enter rooms calmly provided that the fear of being closed in and being unable to leave at free will, does not exist in their minds.
