LONDON (AP) ― We can't seem to live without our cell phones. Many people say they need their phones at all times and they feel lost without it.

According to a new British study actual anxiety symptoms can break out, including cold sweats, if a persons cell phone isn't around. The new disorder is being called nomophobia. It stands for no mobile phone phobia.

"People have this incredible anxiety. 53 percent of the UK population feel anxious when their mobile phone is not available to them," said Stewart Fox-Mills, a post office telecom expert.

The new research of 2,100 cell phone users found nomophobia stress levels are similar to getting married, moving, or going to the dentist.

Researchers have a few suggestions for people with nomophobia, including get a second phone, carry a phone charger at all times, and then there's the old fashioned cure going cold turkey and turning off the phone.
