Welcome to 'Hypochondria (Health Anxiety)'
« on: April 14, 2005, 09:48:33 PM »
Greetings!

Welcome to the 'Hypochondria (Health Anxiety)' forum. Hypochondriasis (also known as "health anxiety") is a belief that real or imagined physical symptoms are signs of a serious illness, despite medical reassurance and other evidence to the contrary. Such a person may repeatedly look up symptoms on the internet and become convinced that they have at least some (or all) of them ("Cyberchondria").

- Warm regards, GreyGoose
