Health Anxiety
Dear Doctor,
From last 3 years I am concerned about my health. I have consulted many doctors who said all is well. I keep thinking about my health everytime. I am totally in depression because of this. I was an extrovert before but now I don't find any interest in work or social life. Please help me out. I am in a deep state of thoughts about my health. Small pain somewhere in the body I feel like it's a serious issue. I keep visiting doctors for small small issues. These thoughts are effecting my overall health and well being.

Hi, I am sorry that you are feeling this way. It looks like you are deeply fearful of something that might happen to you given your current diagnosis. I understand that these might be obsessive thoughts circling your mind and exhausting you of your energy which you can use in other productive things. It looks like there is some deep seated trauma that has gotten triggered in your system and would need resolution in therapy.
Next Steps
We can hop onto a consultation to discuss this more as it’d help me decide where and how to take this forward. We can work on the fear pattern and the obsessive thoughts to ensure you are in the pink of health emotionally and physically. Wishing you the best! Sending healing your way

Hi
It looks like you could have health anxiety. It is necessary to know what is causing you to worry about your health even though the doctors have said there is nothing to worry about. Being constantly worried about your health even though the results are normal is making you feel depressed. You were an extrovert before and now you are not interested in work or social life. To feel better consult a psychologist and explain about the thoughts you have about your health. I understand having health anxiety is making you feel worried and upset but it is something you can overcome. An effective treatment for health anxiety is psychotherapy. Do not worry with counseling sessions you will feel better.
Next Steps
