TSHP422: Cyberchondria (or Google-itis)



Cyberchrondria has been with jus for many years. I always called it Google-itis. It is when the patient or the client has become so well informed about their condition that they often know more about it, or think that they know more about it, than their doctor or therapist. Let’s see if we can help!
