Health Anxiety Test (Whitley Index)
A brief Whitley-style self-assessment for illness worry, body checking, and reassurance seeking.
Instruction: Mark whether each statement feels true for you.
Do you often worry about your health?
Test basis
Format: Whitley Index. The score is calculated from your answers using the scale shown in the test, so answer based on your recent real experience rather than trying to choose a "right" result.
Not a diagnosis
Health anxiety is a form of anxiety that can show up through body sensations and reassurance seeking. If you feel unsafe, at risk of harming yourself, experience violence, or are in severe distress, contact local emergency services, a crisis line, or a qualified professional immediately.
