What can be done to overcome hypochondria?

Therapy: You can seek help from a team of professionals. Your primary care physician to closely follow you for overall health concerns; a psychotherapist for working with you on your health and other anxieties or depression; a psychiatrist to work with you on any medications that could help with specific symptoms. With this collaborative team and working in your therapy, you can get well.

Hypochondria: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often the most effective approach to treating hypochondria. Psychoeducation and exposure therapy have been used as well as treatment with antidepressant medications when warranted.
