Is it a real symptom — or health anxiety?
Health anxiety (also called illness anxiety) means the fear of being seriously ill becomes bigger than any actual medical evidence. Common patterns include:
🔍 Constant Body Checking
Repeatedly checking your pulse, skin, lumps or symptoms — sometimes dozens of times a day — searching for signs something is wrong.
📱 Symptom Googling (“Cyberchondria”)
Compulsively searching symptoms online, often ending up convinced of the worst-case diagnosis within minutes.
🏥 Repeated Doctor Visits
Seeking multiple medical opinions and tests, but relief from a clear result lasts only briefly before the worry returns.
😨 Catastrophic Interpretation
A normal headache becomes “maybe a tumour”; a normal heartbeat change becomes “maybe a heart attack” — the mind jumps straight to worst-case.
🚫 Avoidance of Medical Information
Some people swing the opposite way — avoiding doctors, checkups or health news entirely out of fear of what they might find.
😔 Reassurance-Seeking
Constantly asking family or friends “does this look normal to you?” — temporary relief that keeps the anxiety cycle going.
How our psychologists treat health anxiety
Health anxiety responds very well to structured therapy — the goal isn’t to dismiss your concerns, but to break the cycle of fear, checking and temporary relief:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps identify the catastrophic thought patterns driving health anxiety and replace them with balanced, evidence-based thinking about bodily sensations.
Reducing Checking & Reassurance-Seeking
A structured plan to gradually reduce body-checking, symptom-googling and reassurance-seeking behaviours that keep the anxiety cycle active.
Tolerating Uncertainty
Health anxiety often stems from an intolerance of medical uncertainty. Therapy builds your capacity to sit with “I don’t know for certain” without panic.
Body-Focused Relaxation
Techniques to calm the physical anxiety response itself — since anxiety symptoms (racing heart, tight chest) are often mistaken for illness symptoms.
This approach is consistent with treatment guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO), which recognises CBT as an effective, evidence-based treatment for anxiety-related disorders.
