Health anxiety is when you worry a lot about your health. For some people, health anxiety:

  • does not go away even when health professionals say there is nothing wrong
  • leads to unhelpful behaviours like asking for many medical tests
  • makes it hard to enjoy life.

This resource has:

  • fact sheets about health anxiety
  • a workbook about health anxiety.

The resource is not written for people with intellectual disability. The resource uses some hard words.

The resource could be used by family members, carers or supporters to help someone who worries a lot about their health.
