499 I Tested AI on Health Anxiety. Here Is My Exact Prompt to Make It Safe.

from Your Anxiety Toolkit - Practical Skills for Anxiety, Panic & Depression

In this episode, I explore how people with health anxiety can unintentionally get pulled into a cycle of reassurance-seeking when using AI to search for medical symptoms. I walk through a real-time demonstration showing how an innocent search for common symptoms can quickly escalate into worst-case scenarios, more uncertainty, and even more anxiety. While AI can be an incredible tool, I explain why it's important to use it carefully if you struggle with health anxiety or illness anxiety OCD.
