Mental health anxiety?????

[Paulac]

Can you suffer from health anxiety about getting differènt mental illnesses instead of health anxiety about physical illness eg.ms, cancer etc??

Yes, I believe you can as many anxiety disorders are linked in some way.

For example, panic attacks can lead to GAD and agoraphobia or social anxiety etc. Once in the anxiety spiral you can often fear other MH disorders or even that you are going mad as I did in the early days.

Talk to your GP about what worries you. Maybe try CBT if you haven't already, it can really help with negative thinking patterns and help you come to terms with why you feel like you do.

Good luck, Kitti :)
