Nosophobia is the intense fear of developing a specific disease — for example, constantly fearing you’ll get cancer or HIV. It's usually focused on one illness and is often triggered by hearing about or reading about that disease. Hypochondriasis (also known as illness anxiety disorder) is a chronic preoccupation with having a serious illness, even when medical exams show nothing is wrong. The fear can shift from one disease to another and persists despite reassurance from doctors.#tik_tok #100k
