We are re-airing one of our most requested episodes of Two Shrinks and a Mic, where Dr. Andrew Rosen and Dr. David Gross take a clear and practical look at what health anxiety really is. They explain the difference between normal health concerns and clinical health anxiety, previously known as hypochondriasis, and why so many people are experiencing heightened worry today.

Dr. Rosen and Dr. Gross discuss how constant access to online medical information, including search engines and AI, can intensify fears and fuel obsessive checking patterns. They also dive into how this affects both patients and clinicians, what warning signs to look for, and why health anxiety often goes untreated for too long.

Most importantly, they outline what works. From cognitive behavioral therapy to medication to structured exposure techniques, they break down highly effective treatments and remind listeners that health anxiety is real, common, and very treatable.

This re-air is an important resource for anyone navigating persistent health fears or supporting someone who is.
