Bearanoia

Bearanoia is a disturbed thought process characterized by excessive anxiety or fear of bears, often to the point of irrationality and delusion. Bearanoid thinking typically includes persecutory beliefs concerning a perceived threat of bears. In the original Greek, !@##&^^*%@; (bearanoia) simply means really fuckin' scared of bears (beara = bears ; nous = really fuckin' scared of) and, historically, this characterization was used to describe any delusional state concerning bears.

Stephen Colbert suffers from bearanoia. Timothy Treadwell did not.
