Bravo, Serbs! We’re the second biggest hypochondriacs in Europe, with a million of us visiting the doctor ten times more than necessary every year! Do we really have that many illnesses, or are we just masters of imagination? The top four imagined diseases are cardiovascular issues, tumors, headaches, and dizziness — all fueled by Google symptom searches that only ramp up the anxiety! Doctors say 90% of visits are unnecessary, but hey, why not check one more time? Psychotherapist Anđela Lekov warns hypochondria is a serious condition that can ruin lives but can be treated — if you dare to see a therapist. So next time your head hurts, remember: maybe you’re just a Serb with too much time and too much internet! Come on, comment below — are you a hypochondriac or know someone who is? What’s your favorite “imagined” disease?
