Need help with my health anxiety. constantly obsessing and checking my moles, googling, thinking i have melanoma. interfering with life what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obsession: Worrying about one's health is normal and natural. But, there has to come some grip of reality when you get about the other important issues of daily living and moving into a healthy future. Perhaps you need some work with a mental health specialist to work on balancing your worry with your need to be living.
