Bookmark Removed

I did an ILE search and couldn't find anything on this somewhat modern phenomenon: Doom-googling health scares, Web MD, faddish supplements, digital confirmation bias, even the TikTok Tourettes thing

I've mostly used the internet to talk myself out of a health anxiety ("See? It's probably nothing!")... I guess the opposite of hypochondria?

Anyway, if anyone has thoughts or experience with this, here's the place to share
