Health anxiety can show up in subtle worries or overwhelming fears that consume daily life. In this episode, Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross break down the difference between everyday health concerns, clinical health anxiety, and what used to be called hypochondriasis. They explore why health anxiety is more common today, how “Dr. Google” and AI can make it worse, and the ways obsessive worry can affect both patients and practitioners. Together they share insights on effective treatments, from cognitive behavioral therapy to medication, and remind listeners that health anxiety is not only real but also highly treatable.
