How you can stop worrying about your health and enjoy life? Many of us have a tendency to worry unnecessarily about our health. For some the anxiety becomes severe, and they may spend many hours checking for symptoms, seeking reassurance from others, surfing the internet for information about different diseases, or repeatedly visiting their doctor. It is distressing for them and for everyone around them. In fact, health anxiety can be successfully treated with cognitive behaviour therapy – the approach taken in this self-help guide. Using a structured, step-by-step approach we explain how the problem develops, how to recognise what feeds it and how to develop effective methods of dealing with it. Accessible and reassuring Includes questionnaires, case studies and exercises. Includes specific help for dealing with fear of death and fear of vomiting.
