If you experience troubling symptoms, it’s only natural to worry about your health. But if your anxiety persists even after doctors tell you they can find nothing wrong, it may be hurting you more than it helps. You might research medical conditions on the internet, exercise constantly, or check your body for signs of disease, all the while growing more and more consumed by worry. And that worry has consequences of its own—the never-ending cycle of anxiety can all but destroy your quality of life. If you’re ready to stop being overly preoccupied with fears about your health, Overcoming Health Anxiety offers an evidence-based approach called cognitive behavioral therapy to help you get started. You’ll learn the difference between people with health anxiety and hypochondriacs, find the root of your health anxiety, and challenge illness-related thoughts. In time, you’ll drastically reduce your fears and enjoy a life free from recurring health-related worries. This book has been awarded The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit — an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties. Used alone or in conjunction with therapy, our books offer powerful tools readers can use to jump-start changes in their lives.

Big help with anxious thoughts
This book presents a step by step approach to managing anxious thoughts about health. It has useful examples and a series of homework assignments that, if completed, require the reader to confront the causes and consequences of health anxiety in her or his own life. It's not the most touchy-feely book out there. Instead, it presents a serious, research-based approach that asks the reader to put in effort in tracking thoughts and behaviors and practicing adaptive responses to anxiety. It can go a long way toward managing anxious thoughts and behaviors for people with mild to somewhat serious health anxiety. It has worked well for me.

This book really works
In one week I have gone from a person who worried about every ache and pain to someone who hasn't felt this calm in months. I realize I may have ups and downs, but the book really worked for me. It's such a nice feeling to realize I was lying to myself and I am not dying. I think the best part was writing the worst case scenario of what I thought I must have. And it wasn't so bad! Thank you so much.
