Curiosity Fixation Illness Searching

cascade-variant.curiosity-fixation-illness-searchingclinical register

Definition

Health-anxiety symptom-searching: the receiving capacity over-pulls bodily and diagnostic content, each ambiguous sensation feeding the next query until certainty about illness is chased and never reached. Distinct from sibling Uncertainty-Lock (medium) by a somatic-and-disease content anchor rather than generic intolerance of not-knowing; from Novelty-Churn (low) by anxious threat-driven intake that recruits attention onto the feared diagnosis rather than appetitive stimulation-seeking.
