Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions defines health anxiety as excessive worry about having or developing a serious illness, even in the absence of medical evidence. It outlines criteria for when normal health concerns become problematic, such as persistent distress and unhelpful behaviors like checking or avoidance. The resource clarifies that health anxiety can affect individuals regardless of whether they have real symptoms or existing conditions, focusing instead on their response to those sensations.
