Various information you can easily get through the internet. Anything, including symptoms of a disease that was you were experiencing. This simplicity leads many people to diagnose the disease simply by digging up information on the internet. In fact, they did not hesitate taking the drug according to information on the Internet without consulting your doctor.

"Lots of health information on the Internet. But remember, the information is not necessarily derived from a competent person. The information that appears on the official site does not mean that any health can to make their own treatment," said Dr. Kersi Chavda, Head of the Bombay Psychiatric Society, as quoted from page Idivo.com
"Cyberchondria memprihantikan problem because all have access to information about the symptoms of the disease. Many patients who do research not only symptoms but also drugs," said dr. Anjali Chhabria, psychiatrist and psychotherapist.
Actually, finding health information on the internet have a positive impact. Patients can find detailed information. However, it could not replace the role of a doctor. Conduct their own diagnosis of the disease has a high risk one big enough.
"Only the symptoms are typed into a search engine on the internet, is not enough. If this is correct information on the Internet, might no longer needed the medical profession," said dr. Anjali.
Internet is a good source of information, and quite complete. But that does not mean the information a patient can perform self diagnosis let alone buy medicine without prescription.
