EP 85 | Internet വഴി അസുഖം തിരയുന്നവർക്ക് പണി കിട്ടും | Dangers of searching symptoms online

Dr Arun B Nair

Searching your symptoms on the internet may seem harmless, but experts warn that it can often create unnecessary fear, confusion, and anxiety. Many people turn to Google or social media to identify illnesses based on minor symptoms, but this habit can sometimes lead to serious mental stress and misinformation.

Doctors say that self-diagnosis through the internet can make people believe they are suffering from dangerous diseases, even when the actual problem may be minor. This phenomenon, often called “Cyberchondria,” is becoming increasingly common in the digital age.

Health-related searches online may provide incomplete, misleading, or exaggerated information, causing panic among users. In some cases, people may delay proper medical treatment because they rely too much on online advice instead of consulting qualified healthcare professionals.

In this video, we explain the dangers of searching diseases online, how internet-based self-diagnosis affects mental health, expert medical opinions, and why consulting a doctor is always the safest option.
