Cyberchondria - A Type of Hypochondriasis
Dr. Suresh Patil
Abstract: Cyberchondria is the overuse of the internet to diagnose one's own health issues, which causes worry to rise. People who are prone to health anxiety are kept in the cycle of anxiety by researching symptoms online. One such negative effect is cyberchondria, which is the increase in anxiety associated by frequent Internet searches for medical information. A person must resist the impulse to go online and control their media use if they want to reduce cyberchondria and other health anxiety - related habits.
Keywords: Cyberchondria, Self diagnosis, anxiety, hypochondriasis, online search
