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 concern about health threats that persists despite reassurance and leads to unhelpful behaviors like body-checking. It clarifies that the resource addresses how individuals respond to symptoms rather than the validity of the physical sensations themselves, noting applicability to both healthy individuals and those with diagnosed conditions. The text also briefly links health anxiety to panic attacks for readers who are highly attuned to bodily sensations.
