Health anxiety: You're on your way to feeling better if your doctors have examined you, found no physical health problems, and you know that health anxiety explains your concerns. So now you need treatment for the anxiety. A good psychotherapist and psychiatrist can help with this over time. Medications may help, but also talking & developing certain anxiety management skills will help too. Ask dr. For referrals.

Worry, worry, worry: If you are needlessly worrying, recommend that you consider seeing a good psychotherapist to deal with your health fears.
