Find a therapist that can help with Health anxiety

Health anxiety, also known as illness anxiety disorder or hypochondriasis, is a mental health condition characterized by excessive worry and preoccupation with the possibility of having or developing a serious illness, despite little or no evidence of an actual illness. Individuals with health anxiety may constantly monitor their bodies for signs of illness, seek reassurance from medical professionals or loved ones, and avoid certain situations or activities due to fear of illness.

About It's Complicated

In 2019, two therapists set out to tackle a complicated problem.

The psychiatrist Carl Jung once wrote that, “Nobody, as long as he moves about among the chaotic currents of life, is without trouble”. One does not have to be a therapist, though, to realize that life is complicated. But finding the right therapist, who you can build a strong relationship with, shouldn’t have to be. This is the founding principle of It’s Complicated.Since our start, we've helped over 23,000 clients and counting, offering thousands of free crisis support hours, and built thriving therapy communities in Berlin, Amsterdam, London, Munich, and Athens.
