10 Hypochondriasis Symptoms
10. Psychotherapy Treatment
Psychotherapy treatment for hypochondriasis will often involve cognitive behavioral therapy. This is intended to help the patient manage the condition by teaching them the skills they need to be able to control it. Psychotherapy may also be used to help address any other mental health problems that the patient is suffering from.
The therapy will help the patient to view their symptoms differently, and help them to cope with stress and anxiety. It will also help to encourage the patient to stop performing tasks like looking up illnesses on the internet and continually check their bodies. Therapy can be effective in helping the patient get back to some degree of normality in their life.
