    About this ebook

    If there is one thing that can help relieve health anxiety, it's finding out that you're not alone.

    Health anxiety is bad enough. So why make it worse by searching for your symptoms online?

    • Do you suffer from health anxiety and find yourself searching online for causes to all your symptoms?
    • Are you online multiple times a day trying to find a reason for all your aches and pains?
    • Does searching online make your anxiety much worse?
    • Do you find it impossible to resist using the internet even though you know it's a bad idea?
    • Are you tired of being a victim of health anxiety?

    Following on from his first book, Philip Martins once again picks apart an old habit that he kicked many years ago, the delightful disease of the mind that was once known as hypochondria. This time round he is examing the technological side of things, and how one of todays greatest assets is making your health anxiety much worse than it needs to be. In the same vein as before, he aims to inject a little light relief, throw in a few more anecdotes from his past and show you why using the web to research your muscle twitching is a waste of time.
