Erik Hedman-Lagerlöf, Erland Axelsson, Erik Andersson, Brjánn Ljótsson, more

Journal of Psychosomatic Research > 2017 > 103 > C > 9-14

Self-rated health (SRH) has been shown to be a stable predictor of illness and mortality. Improvement in SRH, even in the absence of change in objective health, predicts better health and reduced mortality. Severe health anxiety (SHA) is characterized by fear of illness and distorted health perception. The objective of the present study was to investigate if exposure-based cognitive behavior therapy...
