Cyberchondria is the excessive or repeated search for health-related information online that increases anxiety and distress. It involves self-diagnosing based on online searches, where a person becomes more worried and may spiral into anxiety or depression as they read about potential diseases. To manage it, one can limit internet time, discuss anxiety with a professional, and seek professional help like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe worries.
