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.

"I have found a lot of value in how the worksheets have been directing my thoughts. My therapist has been commenting and giving me tips from the worksheets too and I have seen drastic improvements in the way I think and my energy overall! The journal is nice to have since its not mandatory but it is nice to keep track of my day and be grateful for the things I did during the day!"

"Online therapy has helped me considerably with my thoughts and emotions. My therapist has been great at enabling me to feeling my emotions and ask me questions to assist in that process. I’ve never felt pressured into sharing information and she has taken time with me as I’ve opened up. I recommend the service to anyone no matter what you need to discuss. Sometimes we just need that little extra support system and that’s okay."
