I do, but I try to stay away from mental illnesses. I've looked up a few things that were confirmed once I went to the doctor such as a sore throat, or a cavity... >.>

Anyway, the things I look up are usually small, like is it the flu or a cold and such. Or look up the pills that could substitute the ones I'm currently taking after they run out... things of that sort.

Huh... not me, personally, since when I get sick it's usually just a common cold, fever, or flu . But my mom can get pretty worried about us and herself, and she's told us to check up on various symptoms and problems online before.

yes and all the time. last time it was a corneal ulcer, so i had to go to the doctor anyway to get eyedrops, but I found it on some website first.

I used to be an online hypochondriac. During this time I experienced symptoms in my body brought on by my own stress/anxiety.

I would look up the symptoms and find a dozen or so serious health problems that matched what I was feeling (none of which I had).

Some of those sites had me believing that I was about to keel over at age 19. It doesn't help that when you search for a symptom, most sites seem to list the deadliest nastiest possibilities first, before the more mild (and probable) possibilities.

Anyway, I don't have anxiety attacks anymore. My take on self-diagnosing is that it can be a good thing, just don't worry yourself sick and assume the worst.

Cheers.

Not an illness, but after I talked to someone who is studying psychology and said I may have synesthesia I looked into it, and most likely do bigrazz
