Welcome to part two of the health anxiety episode with Dr. Russell Kennedy.

If you missed part one, then check out the previous episode.

This is kind of a tough question coming up.

So let me know if it's difficult to answer.

But let me, you know, this is what I call one.

It's what I call one of the hard questions.

I can take it.

Yeah.

When there is something actually medically wrong, say we receive a cancer diagnosis or ALS or

that horror comes true, I know that's something that like I've recently experienced.

When it's not just anxiety playing tricks on us, how can we navigate that health anxiety since

it almost feels justified?

You know, sometimes we do get sick.

And more often than not, we get better.

But there is a chance that one day we'll get sick and we won't get better.

The same fate is ultimately coming for all of us and how...

Well, there's a big chance that that's going to happen. Yeah, there's, I mean, it's pretty big

chance, right? Like, how can we make that more bearable, you know? It feels so unbearable sometimes,

that fact, that, that truth, that reality. But when something's really wrong, what have you learned from, you know,

your work as a doctor or what have you maybe learned from your patients, like when there's

something really wrong?

Yep.
