Cyberchondria has been defined as searching for health-related
information online in an excessive or repetitive way that is driven
by the need to reduce distress or anxiety about health but results
in a worsening outcome. This condition, the level of education of
the individual, and the reputation of the medical information
sources can affect the ability and technological knowledge. This
feeling causes a loss of confidence in modern medicine in some
individuals and makes others excessively use healthcare and
increase health-related labor and costs. Cyberchondria, Health
Literacy, and the Role of Media on Society's Perception in Medical
Information addresses the concept of cyberchondria through an
interdisciplinary approach. This initiative, which combines social,
humanities, and science on a horizontal plane, allows the meeting
of different perspectives on the concept of cyberchondria at the
international level. Covering topics such as digital literacy,
knowledge gap, and internet usage, this book is an excellent
resource for academicians, researchers, students, industry
researchers, non-government organizations, professors, and
government organizations.
