Health anxiety is a form of anxiety in which one believes they have an illness even when a doctor confirms they don’t.
Health anxiety counselling will support those suffering from this form of anxiety and help them understand where their fear stems from, how it is triggered, and how to cope. After a few counselling sessions, patients will realize their false beliefs and begin to recognize what is truly happening in their bodies.
Health anxiety can be shown in several physical or mental ways. The following are signs that you or your loved one may be struggling with a health anxiety disorder:
There is no tell-tale place where anxiety stems from, but if you have a history of the following situations, you may be more prone to developing health anxiety:
Health anxiety and somatic symptom disorder both result in one being obsessed with their health and wellness. However, health anxiety directly relates to someone who has little-to-no physical symptoms of any illness. In contrast, somatic symptom disorder is when one does have mild symptoms and they feel as if they are taking over their life, even if they aren’t.
When you or your loved one seeks support with health anxiety, it can help calm your body while rewiring your brain to acknowledge the truth about your health. You will discover what is triggering your anxiety and how to tell your brain that you are okay.
