Health Tips
- Avoid drugs and alcohol once you start feeling anxious that you have a disease, as they exaggerate the negative emotions.
- Pay attention to the warning signs that can trigger the anxiety about your health. It may be something like looking at a sick person or reading about an illness.
- If you find yourself or your friend doing a lot of research regarding a medical condition or symptoms, education about hypochondria can help.
- Get active physically by joining a gym or going to the park for walking or jogging. These exercises not only make you feel fresh and energetic, they also enhance the feeling of being relaxed.
- Stick to the treatment plan by taking medications on time and attending the counseling sessions regularly. Maintain good relationship with the physician or the psychiatrist.
