Athazagoraphobia is defined as the fear of being forgotten and/or ignored by someone you care about.

The claim regarding athazagoraphobia as the fear of being forgotten or ignored is partially supported by available evidence. Web sources define athazagoraphobia as the fear of being forgotten, and emphasize an association with anxiety and distress over memory loss. However, none of the sources specifically mention being 'ignored by someone you strongly care about.' The condition is not formally recognized in the DSM-5, which implies variability in definitions and perceptions.
