Understanding and Managing Health Anxiety
It’s normal and reasonable to have concerns about your health from time to time. Staying aware of your body’s changes can help you catch potential issues early, and occasional worries can even motivate you to take better care of yourself. However, when these concerns become excessive, they can lead to a pattern of persistent anxiety known as health anxiety. It not only causes emotional distress but can also manifest in physical symptoms that worsen your overall well-being. If you find yourself consumed by thoughts of potential illness, you may be dealing with health anxiety.
