Having access to an enormous amount of information in the palm of your hand is powerful and dangerous. Googling health symptoms can send you in a direction that takes you farther away from reality. This being overly concerned about one’s health can increase anxiety and decrease your quality of life.

On today's podcast we discuss hypochondriacs in the age of Google.

If you are in a crisis or think you have an emergency, call your doctor or 911. If you're

considering suicide, call 1-800-273-TALK to speak with a skilled trained counselor.
