He had this habbit of bowing a lot in front of temples n idols. But now a days, he has started doin d same anywhere. While sitting in a car, while walking etc. We made him see a pshych once, but after 1 or 2 visits, he stopped visiting as he dint want to take a medicine that result in drowsiness and they were giving him the same. What is this phobia? And what can be done to overcome that ? Is medicine it's only alternative? Can't this problem be solved by proper guidance & counselling ? Please answer.

I am not aware what kind of Phobia it is beacuse this can be linked with many things.
The first and the foremost thing is that u need a good psychiatrist who will tell u that is their actually any problem with his brain or not by performing psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, and/or cognitive behavioral therapy....
The second suggestion from my side would be to keep a track of event what he does and also to ask him why did he does such a thing which was not normal according to u..( I am sure he would have an answer for that)..
I have a friend who has a phobia in which if he touches a third party object like a gate or a door while enterng a house then he moves back and again touches that..(Though he is absolutely perfect in all other respects)
I hope he will be be perfectly fine one day..
All the best to U

It sounds like instead of paying respect by bowing to the idols or synagogues, if he's doing it in places where these symbols aren't even present it may not be a phobia.
Sounds more like Obsessive Compulsive disorder. OCD is in the anxiety disorder "family" and, Yes, it can be treated IF your cousin wants to be treated. If he does not want treatment and his need to bow does not upset or bother him, then there's little you can do.

Your cousin is such because he has not understood God at all. He needs to read the right scriptures under the guidance of a bona fide guru and only then he will 'see' that what he is doing is unnecessary and a waste of time. Being devotional does not mean you do what he is doing. His is a compulsive behaviour and someone ought to tell him that what he is doing is not worshiping or showing respect but rather mocking. Hope this tips help.

Diosphobia?
Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia is the fear of the number 666.
Your cousin might night have a phobia, it could be a Phalia (love/obsession). Theophalia. Treatment differs based on the type. He may just have deep faith. You should just thank God he's not the drunken obnoxious agressive cousin the rest of us have!

What is wrong with being faith-filled? Monks stop and pray all the time as well and you're not trying to have them committed. Perhaps your cousin is just training for the clergy or a life of humbleness.

Obsession with religious ideas to the point where it is taking over his life like that it is often a sign of psychosis. But, your cousin does have the right to refuse medical treatment. I don't know what his issue is, but seeing a psychologist might help. (psychologists cannot prescribe medication, psychiatrists only prescribe medication and don't usually do counselling)

Theophobia. I can't tell you what to do. I just happen to have a list of phobia names right here in front of me.

It's called Christianity or idiocy. I forget the technical term. Unfortunately they never see it as a problem even though they alienate friends and family and fully subsumed within their cult.

This is called zeusophobia.
