Illness phobia – also known as health anxiety, nosophobia or hypochondriasis – is a psychological condition in which the person feels excessive and persistent worry that they are or will become seriously ill, even without a clear medical indication.

What is Illness Anxiety Disorder?

It belongs to the category of somatic symptom disorders. The person exaggerates common physical complaints and is led to the conclusion that they have a serious illness, despite negative medical tests and reassuring assurances from doctors.

This obsessive anxiety about health consumes valuable mental energy, leads to constant medical research, isolation, and restrictions in daily life.

Why Did It Intensify After the Pandemic?

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an environment of constant fear and hypervigilance regarding health issues. Many people, even those with no history of anxiety, have experienced increased insecurity and sensitivity to physical symptoms. Illness phobia has intensified or appeared in new individuals.

How Does It Manifest?

Frequent seeking of medical confirmation (visits to doctors, tests)
Obsessive preoccupation with the body (checking pulse, skin, blood pressure, etc.)
Excessive searching on the internet for symptoms (cyberchondria)
Avoidance of social contacts, travel or activities
Feelings of fear, guilt, entrapment or depression
