What is cyberchondria
Earlier, if someone had a disease, then he had to go to the doctor, still people go to the doctor, but before that they start searching their symptoms in the Internet on the phone. If you search for any disease on Google, then he will tell about its dangerous symptoms to the last stage of that disease, but this is the beginning of a problem, which is called cyberchondria in medical language.
According to research by the National Library of Medicine, searching on Google repeatedly can have many other serious symptoms from headache. In some cases the person gets insomnia, stress. This problem increases further when health search is not controlled. Research says that when we constantly read information related to diseases, then our brain starts giving the same signs to the body, as we are really ill.
Why the problem of Cyberchondria is increasing
Dr. AK Kumar in Psychiatry Department at District MMG Hospital in Ghaziabad It is said that a person is just feeling mild tired, but when he searches Google by writing “Fatigue”, then in the end it goes into symptoms ranging from cancer to serious illness like heart attack, then his worry increases. This concern affects the brain and nervous system, causing symptoms like headache, chest nervousness, sweating, lack of sleep and restlessness. Whereas he really does not have any disease related to it.
Dr. Kumar says that the information on the Internet is often a general, which directly connects any symptom with a serious disease. In such a situation, it becomes common to consider yourself as serious ill without medical examination. This also has a negative effect on mental health. Due to this, some people may have problems like anxiety, panic attack or depression.
According to Dr. Kumar, the report of Psycho-neurological research shows that by searching on Google repeatedly about the disease and repeated reading about its symptoms causes panic and fear in the body. Due to some disturbances in the function of the brain, the symptoms of that disease start feeling in the body, whereas in reality nothing like this happens.
