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.

"Working with Isabel has been great. I find she listens, cares, shares precious intuitions, thinks about my situation between sessions, and much more.
The platform is easy enough to use and I appreciate having a record of what I wrote. I haven't had a chance to check out all of its features even, so congrats."

"Thus far, things have been going well. My therapist has responded in a timely manner, she's been very sensitive to the issues that I've brought up and has provided suggestions without being pushy. She clearly seems to understand where I'm coming from and grasps the issues I'm trying to address as well as the background that said issues stem from. I'm very satisfied with how things are progressing."
