这篇叙述性综述的主要目的是简要概述有关网络疑病症的概念化、评估和治疗的现有实证证据，重点关注将网络疑病症作为一种行为成瘾进行潜在分类。尽管网络疑病症广泛与焦虑相关，但也有人认为它可能与强迫特征有关。一个较少被探讨的观点是将网络疑病症归类为一种行为成瘾。本综述通过考虑人、情感、认知和执行模型相互作用的各个组成部分来探讨有关网络疑病症可能被归类为行为成瘾的现有文献。
关于网络疑病症的定义和概念化缺乏共识。迄今为止可获得的实证证据表明，网络疑病症是一种多因素结构，在跨诊断方面起作用，特别是在与强迫相关的障碍和与健康相关的焦虑方面。这种情况在多大程度上可能反映出一种作为互联网使用问题形式的行为成瘾也值得考虑。在新冠疫情期间，网络疑病症可能变得更加普遍，特别是那些容易出现与健康相关焦虑的人群可能具有更大的脆弱性。现有数据在一定程度上支持将网络疑病症作为一种行为成瘾进行潜在分类，尽管目前在理解上还存在许多空白。
网络疑病症似乎是一个日益受到关注的问题。然而，还没有足够的实证证据来确定这种临床状况是否与行为成瘾有足够的相似性而被视为一种行为成瘾。同样，迄今为止存在的心理测量工具并不是从行为成瘾的理论框架设计的，所以它们所评估的大多数因素可能优先与焦虑相关。最后，对于网络疑病症是否应该在健康焦虑干预、强迫相关障碍或行为成瘾的背景下进行处理仍然没有共识；因此，需要更多的实证证据。
The main purpose of this narrative review is to provide a brief overview of the current empirical evidence regarding the conceptualization, assessment, and treatment of cyberchondria, with a focus on the potential classification of cyberchondria as a behavioral addiction. Although cyberchondria has been widely associated with anxiety, it has also been suggested that it may be linked to obsessive–compulsive features. A less explored proposal is the categorization of cyberchondria as a behavioral addiction. The present review explores the existing literature with respect to the possible classification of cyberchondria as a behavioral addiction by considering cyberchondria with respect to components of the interaction of person, affect, cognition and execution model. There is a lack of consensus regarding the definition and conceptualization of cyberchondria. The empirical evidence available to date suggests that cyberchondria is a multifactorial construct that operates transdiagnostically, particularly with respect to obsessive–compulsive-related disorders and health-related anxiety. The extent to which the condition may reflect a behavioral addiction as a form of problematic use of the internet also warrants consideration. Cyberchondria may have become more prevalent during the COVID-19 pandemic, with particular populations prone to health-related anxiety likely having greater vulnerability. Existing data in part support the potential classification of cyberchondria as a behavioral addiction, although many gaps in understanding currently exist. Cyberchondria appears to be a growing concern. However, there is not yet enough empirical evidence to determine whether this clinical condition has enough similarities with behavioral addictions to be considered as one. Likewise, psychometric instruments that exist to date have not been designed from the theoretical framework of behavioral addictions, so most of the factors that they evaluate may be preferentially related to anxiety. Finally, there is still no consensus on whether cyberchondria should be addressed in the context of health anxiety interventions, OCRD, or behavioral addictions; thus, more empirical evidence is needed.
