Document Summary

Using health services: not everyone who feels sick or is sick seeks medical care from a professional, and not everyone who seeks medical care is sick with a physical illness. Psychological, social, and cultural factors are involved in whether one chooses to seek medical care. In the face of seemingly severe symptoms, some people continue normal activities, while others go to bed when they detect any minor bodily disturbance. Anxiety increased reports only for concurrent or momentary physical symptoms. These differential association are consistent with the notion that encoding and retrieval processes are distinct for anxious and depressed individuals, with depression linked to better retrieval of past symptoms, whereas anxiety heightens encoding current symptoms. Cultural differences: reliable cultural differences in how quickly and what kind of symptoms are recognized, reasons for these differences not fully understood, cultural differences in emotional responses may be at the root of observed differences. Even symptoms from the same problem can be experienced differently.
