Some of us are becoming medical 'cyberchondriacs'

Do you spend hours after hours huddled around your desktop or laptop PC looking for medical information? If you, you may be like many if us -- and what experts are calling "cyberchondriacs."

All that self-diagnosis (much of which is generally false) reminds many of first-year medical students due to so much information being present to anyone with internet access these days. Result: people become overly anxious.

Information can be empowering, but too much of it and a lack of context to go along with it can be almost dangerous. Always seek the guidance of a medical professional when in doubt.
