Description

This is the full recording of the Nov 2024 webinar.

Health anxiety is a condition that can affect anyone. Those affected by health anxiety have a disproportionate and sometimes obsessive preoccupation with the idea that they - or a loved one including children - are currently (or will be) experiencing a physical illness or medical problem.

"Health anxiety (sometimes called hypochondria) is when you spend so much time worrying you're ill, or about getting ill, that it starts to take over your life."

"You may have health anxiety if you:

constantly worry about your health

frequently check your body for signs of illness, such as lumps, tingling or pain

are always asking people for reassurance that you're not ill

worry that your doctor or medical tests may have missed something

obsessively look at health information on the internet or in the media

avoid anything to do with serious illness, such as medical TV programmes

act as if you were ill (for example, avoiding physical activities)

Anxiety itself can cause symptoms like headaches or a racing heartbeat, and you may mistake these for signs of illness."
