The Science Behind Health Anxiety
In my exploration of health anxiety, it's clear there's a lot of science involved. This psychological condition, also known as 'illness anxiety', often stems from a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Interestingly, individuals with health anxiety tend to have a heightened awareness of bodily sensations, which they might misinterpret as a sign of serious illness.
