Welcome to a place for everyone who identifies with having health anxiety, is an ally of someone with health anxiety, or just wants to learn more about our growing community. We coalesce here to reclaim control of our lives through: education, sharing experiences, sharing management techniques, sharing resources, exposing stigma & norms, and advancing the discussion & awareness around Health Anxiety (a.k.a. Illness Anxiety & Hypochondriasis) in its many forms in our own societal realms.
