Health anxiety is known by
Health anxiety is known by a variety of different terms, including hypochondriasis and, more recently, Illness Anxiety Disorder. Regardless of the term, health anxiety or hypochondriasis can be an extremely distressing and debilitating condition. At its core, hypochondriasis is associated with a preoccupation of having or acquiring serious medical disease or illness. In health anxiety, physical symptoms are often not present, but if they are present, they are very mild and are not necessarily indicative of a serious health condition. For a person with Illness Anxiety Disorder or hypochondriasis, they have a high level of anxiety about their health and are easily alarmed about any signs or symptoms suggesting potential disease. The person engages in excessive health related behaviours like repeatedly checking their body for signs or symptoms of the feared illness, reassurance seeking behaviour from their doctors or maladaptive avoidance. The hypochondriasis or health anxiety causes the person high level of distress and can lead to interference in their engagement in recreational activities, their social relationships or their functioning at work.
