The correct answer is "Panophobia". "Pan" or "panos" means "all" in Greek, while "phobia" means "aversion" or "fear". The term "panophobia" was first coined by Théodule-Armand Ribot in 1911 to describe "a state in which a patient fears everything or nothing", today is not registered as a formal phobia in medicine but a vague and persistent fear from an unknown evil.
