The urge to search the internet for a medical diagnosis could remedy
concerns over a possible illness for some people, but it could exacerbate
them in others, according to research from Microsoft cited by STAT.

More than one-third of Americans search for diagnoses online, according to a

2013 Pew Survey, and half of those people discuss their findings with an
actual healthcare provider. Although the internet can be a helpful educational
tool, obsessively searching for medical information can become a health
condition itself, one researchers have termed "cyberchondria," according to
STAT.

Whether real or conjured, people in the U.S. most commonly search for the
following 20 health conditions, according to data analysis by STAT.
