Many health professionals warn the web has created a world of cyberchondriacs. |
It is because cyberchondriacs fervently believe they are physically ill that they get so frustrated when told they are not. |
One of the main problems that cyberchondriacs face is that the web is not always reliable. |
Cyberchondriacs are less likely to be older people and people with low incomes. |
Like hypochondriacs constantly imagining they have various fatal illnesses, cyberchondriacs declare themselves outrageously sick after reading medical material on the Web. |
