Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Just good medicine: Hypochondriasis is a form of anxiety disorder where anxious feelings focus strongly on health concerns -- fearing you have a serious illness despite medical exams and reassurance to the contrary. Effective treatment and relief is possible with a team of your medical doctors & psychotherapist and psychiatrist. Specific talk therapies & mind-body work can help you deal w/your health anxiety.
