Health Anxiety Online Therapy
Health anxiety, also initially referred to as hypochondria, is currently diagnosed in 4% to 5% of people. However, experts believe this percentage could be as high as 10% because most people go undiagnosed. Health anxiety can often be misdiagnosed as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). If you find yourself consumed by fears of illness or constantly seeking reassurance about your health, know that you’re not alone.
