CNN: Are You A ‘Cyberchondriac’?

By Neal on December 21, 2007 3:10 PM

If it’s pre-Christmas week and the industry is slowing down, it means that it’s time for our favorite thing in the world: Useless feature stories.

Ladies and gentleman, we give you CNN’s not-so-hypothetical question: Are you a ‘cyberchondriac’?

Symptoms of cyberchondria, according to CNN’s Elizabeth Cohen:

  • “You feel worse after Web surfing instead of better”
  • “Your doctor’s reassurances don’t help”
  • “You move quickly from suspicion to conviction”

    See? It’s just like hypochondria… only cyber.
