What Is Health Anxiety? How to Stop Googling Your Symptoms
Health anxiety (illness anxiety) is constant worry that you have or will get a serious illness, along with checking your body and searching symptoms online, even when medical check-ups come back fine. Gradually reducing checking and reassurance-seeking and questioning your thoughts are the core CBT methods for breaking this cycle.

What Is a Panic Attack? Symptoms and What to Do in the Moment
A panic attack is a sudden, intense wave of fear that peaks within a few minutes and comes with a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness and a feeling of losing control. Although it is very frightening, it is not dangerous; instead of escaping, lengthening your exhale, naming the symptoms and letting the wave pass are the most helpful steps.

A fear of driving (sometimes called amaxophobia) is an intense fear and avoidance of getting behind the wheel, driving on the highway or being in traffic, even when you have a license. A gradual driving plan that starts in an empty parking lot and moves through quiet streets and short routes to heavy traffic, together with questioning your thoughts, is the core way to overcome it.
