In the psychology podcast, Kimberley asks her guest, clinical psychologist Dr Kirren Schnack (also known as @drkirren on social media), what health anxiety really means, why people struggle with it, and what ways there are to manage it. Kimberley Wilson, chartered psychologist, is on a mission to sift through all the information and misinformation that’s out there around our mental health.
