The good thing it that CBT would get down to the bottom of WHY you have health anxiety & you could address the cause rather that feeling you have no choice than to suffer with it. In reality, meds don't cure anxiety they only mask the symptoms. Only when we address the root cause of the anxiety & work through it can it truly be healed.

Im assuming that health anxiety has to do with constantly being anxious about your own health..always thinking that something might be wrong with you? If that's the case then processing the cause of those feelings & where they came from (like experiencing the death of someone close to you at a young age or whatever) would be beneficial in healing the anxiety...something medication can't do....like I said, it only masks the symptoms.
