Are YOU a Cyberchondriac? 160 Million in the US

Personally, I’m thinking I’m not a cyberchondriac. However, I think I’ve been convinced into becoming one, considering that computers are so much easier to talk to than doctors.

A ‘cyberchondriac’ is the name HarrisInteractive has given to people that seek medical information from the internet, as opposed to going to a doctor.

An interesting fact is that there has been a 37% rise in Cyberchondriacs in the past two years, meaning that there are indeed 160 million cyberchondriacs living in the US. Nothing wrong with that, seeing as doctors can be more intimidating than computers most of the time.

So tell me, are YOU a Cyberchondriac? If so, let us know.
