    Interesting article about Health Anxiety

    Re: Interesting article about Health Anxiety

    This bit was interesting...

    ‘Most people with health anxiety are already suffering from a genuine medical condition — most frequently a thyroid problem or diabetes, bowel disorder or heart disease,’ says psychiatrist Professor Peter Tyrer, head of the Centre for Mental Health at Imperial ­College ­Medical School.


    I have both bowel disorder and heart disease yet I don't suffer with HA at all.

    I wouldn't worry Kirsty, not all people have something underlying and not all people who experience health issues develop health anxiety, as Nic says above. What caught my attention was how doctors deal with the subject of HA.

    Re: Interesting article about Health Anxiety

    hi there
    I have the same problems as Nichola but I suffer from HA because I don't want anything to happen to me because I know I will be missed for the things I do for my family. I don't sit about crying all the time about it though.
    regards to everyone
