What are money phobias and manias? Psychiatrist Alexander Chomsky tells in the podcast "Spent"

You can notice mental abnormalities yourself, but in order to cope with the problem, you need the help of a specialist.

It is almost impossible to accurately calculate how many people in the world have phobias or anxiety disorders. Not everyone turns to specialists for help, so statistics do not see them. But surely everyone at least once in his life experienced fear associated with money - to lose savings, to be robbed, to take an unprofitable loan and not pay it back.
