Cyberchondria has been defined as searching for health-related information online in an excessive or repetitive way that is driven by the need to reduce distress or anxiety about health but results in a worsening outcome. This condition, the level of education of the individual, and the reputation of the medical information sources can affect the ability and technological knowledge. This feeling causes a loss of confidence in modern medicine in some individuals and makes others excessively use healthcare and increase health-related labor and costs. Cyberchondria, Health Literacy, and the Role of Media on Society's Perception in Medical Information addresses the concept of cyberchondria through an interdisciplinary approach. This initiative, which combines social, humanities, and science on a horizontal plane, allows the meeting of different perspectives on the concept of cyberchondria at the international level. Covering topics such as digital literacy, knowledge gap, and internet usage, this book is an excellent resource for academicians, researchers, students, industry researchers, non-government organizations, professors, and government organizations.
