Overcome Health Anxiety with Online Therapy
Are You Health Conscious or Health Anxious?
Almost every one of us gets concerned about our health and well-being. And that concern can motivate us to try to optimize our eating, sleep and to lead a healthy lifestyle. Being health conscious can be great. It helps a lot in leading a healthy, happy, successful and meaningful life.
However, problems arise when this health consciousness gets transformed into “health anxiousness”. If you become too obsessed about your health and if you get too apprehensive that you are suffering from a severe illness (without the presence of such medical symptoms), then you may be experiencing health anxiety. In the past, psychologists referred to this as “hypochondria”. However, it is now called Illness Anxiety Disorder.
Illness Anxiety Disorder is a somatic symptom disorder in which the person suffering from it gets overly anxious or obsessed over his/her physical conditions. They see even a minor problem as an exaggerated severe illness. People suffering from Illness Anxiety Disorder often require continuous care, support and assurance from health service providers, family and acquaintances.
See if you recognize yourself in the symptoms of health anxiety:
What’s more, people with Illness Anxiety Disorder can also experience additional mental health issues, such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Clinical Depression, Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Treatment Procedures
The good news is that Illness Anxiety Disorder can be treated. Effective methods of treatment include Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Exposure Therapy and support. You can receive these types of treatment here at Online Therapy.

"Chelsea’s really great. There’s no rush through the meetings. Things are checked off and we walk through what needs fixing. She has a fantastic grasp of what I’m going through and how to apply her knowledge to each situation and bring out where the key pressure points are. Thanks for the help chels."

"I loved doing the worksheets. The way they were structured by section and idea of section, and the proper questions they asked, really made me reflect and challenge myself. I feel that they were particularly beneficial."

"I feel like this is the perfect course. I have video calls with my therapist, I have a journal, I have other resources at my disposal to help guide me along the process. I write in my journal daily, and I do the worksheets every week and discuss the results with my therapist. And if you do not like a therapist, you can always change to another, and this is common sometimes, but I believe I have found a great therapist. Another thing that I really like is that they have financial aid for those who are not in the economic spot like me, as I am in between jobs. I can still afford to do my therapy, as they have 3 plans available."
