Module 1: Understanding Health Anxiety
Overview
This CBT handout from the Centre for Clinical Interventions introduces health anxiety by defining health as a continuum of physical, mental, and social functioning rather than merely the absence of disease. It explains the physiological basis of anxiety as a survival instinct and invites readers to reflect on their own perceptions of health. The resource is designed for clients seeking general information to determine if their health worries constitute a problematic pattern.
