I wonder how much of this is associated to technology overuse and information overload. I can only think of WebMD but on steroids with thousands of videos and blogs of anecdotal evidence convincing people they have illnesses they would not previously have considered. Add on the addition of likes and engagement on those things to then convince yourself further. It is rather upsetting to think that this can be the outcome of our mental health at an all time low or our medical systems not being able to actually practice medicine anymore. The amount of co-rumination and associating internal symptoms with named conditions is the most interesting thing to think about. Are we making ourselves sick doing this? Or does overly talking/sharing these symptoms and conditions actually improve them?
