Synopsis
Many people who have headaches, back pain, heart palpitations, stomach acid, and muscle spasms are experiencing sensations unconnected to disease. Though 60 percent of visits to doctors offices reveal no underlying health problems, what the author calls health anxiety syndrome can seriously disrupt work and personal lives. This book, with tested cognitive-behavioral strategies that reduce anxiety about health, helps readers identify the cause of their underlying worry, counteract irrational thoughts, and redefine their perception of symptoms.
