“…On a behavioral level, patients with panic disorder reported stronger associations between body sensations and catastrophizing interpretations (7,8). More importantly, in semantic priming experiments, they demonstrated facilitated automatic lexical processing of catastrophic outcomes preceded by somatic symptom words ("breathless-suffocate") compared with those preceded by neutral, unrelated words ("lemonade-suffocate") (9)(10)(11). This suggests an automatic activation of panic-related associations that may have an impact on the very early stages of information processing in panic disorder.…”

“…Catastrophisation about benign physical symptoms (such as breathlessness) is a key cognitive feature of panic disorder, 54 and the interactional manifestations of catastrophisation in panic disorder have been discussed in a detailed case study. 55 There is also a recognised link between the tendency to catastrophise and somatoform disorders.…”

There are significant differences in how patients with epilepsy or patients with PNES refer to third parties. Patients with PNES are more likely to be prompted to tell doctors what others have told them about their seizures. Patients using third party references to catastrophise their seizure experiences are more likely to have PNES, whilst patients who use third party references to normalise their life with seizures are more likely to have epilepsy.

“…Cognitive models suggest that persons suffering from anxiety tend to misinterpret physical symptoms as indications of an impending physical or mental catastrophe (Hermans et al, 2010). Scholars have studied physical symptoms from different perspectives, as well as the relationship between physical symptoms and various variables.…”

PurposeWith the popularity of the internet, access to health-related information has become more convenient. However, the easy acquisition of e-health information could lead to unfavorable consequences, such as health anxiety. The purpose of this paper is to explore a set of important influencing factors that lead to health anxiety.Design/methodology/approachBased on the stimulus–organism–response (S-O-R) framework, we propose a theoretical model of health anxiety, with metacognitive beliefs and catastrophic misinterpretation as the mediators between stimulus factors and health anxiety. Using 218 self-reported data points, the authors empirically examine the research model and hypotheses.FindingsThe study results show that anxiety sensitivity positively affects metacognitive beliefs. The severity of physical symptoms has a significant positive impact on catastrophic misinterpretation. Metacognitive beliefs and catastrophic misinterpretation have significant positive impacts on health anxiety.Originality/valueBased on the S-O-R model, this paper develops a comprehensive model to explain health anxiety and verifies the model using firsthand data.
