Association between health anxiety and physical health problems in children

Research suggests that children's health concerns are positively associated with increased levels of physical health problems. One study found that children with impairing functional somatic symptoms (i.e., muscle/joint pain, headaches, fatigue) were reported to have higher levels of health anxiety symptoms compared with children with non-impairing functional somatic symptoms.
