is there an official phobia name for fear of the future?

Question:

Answers:
There is no official name for it- one author writes.

"And by the way, my Greek friends tell me that if I want to coin the term for the fear of the future, it could be 'mellontophobia', which, like most other phobias, is not a desirable state of mind."
