Phobia of pregnant women – myth or reality?

Diagnostics of psychiatric disorders in childhood and adolescence has its own specifics, which puts a greater emphasis on differential diagnostics. By means of case study, we present a case of a 16-year-old boy, first hospitalized at a psychiatric ward. We point to the varied clinical symptoms with a phobia of pregnant women in the foreground and the rather surprising diagnotic conclusion at discharge.
