Health anxiety, also known as hypochondriasis or Illness Anxiety Disorder, is associated with excessive, disproportionate worry about health that leads to a person experiencing high levels of anxiety. There are a number of factors that can play a role in a person developing health anxiety, including: having experienced a medical problem in the past; having family members or someone close to you experience a serious illness; seeing a loved one or family member pass away from a particular health condition; having family members who experience health anxiety themselves; and finding negative information about health and disease on the Internet or other sources of information. These negative health experiences lead to a person feeling a heightened sense of vulnerability associated with their health. As a result, health anxiety and hypochondriasis are driven by a resulting focus of attention on health and whatever feared illness the person is concerned about.
