A fear of losing control was an anxiety disorder characterized by an intense and irrational fear of being punished or reprimanded.

In 2375, while having a discussion about his gene, an EMH member said to Chakotay, "The aliens are trying to speak to you, and the only thing keeping you from understanding them is your own fear. Your fear of losing control, your fear of the unknown." (VOY: "The Fight")
