Anxiety - A baggage of unreal thoughts | Rohan Gaikwad | TEDxKharadi Salon

Hypochondria is a condition in which a person experiences excessive and unjustified anxiety about having a serious illness. This condition is often characterized by fears that minor bodily or mental symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. Individuals with hypochondriasis often express doubt and skepticism regarding the validity of doctors' diagnoses and report that reassurance provided by doctors about the absence of a serious medical condition is unconvincing or transitory. Mr. Rohan Gaikwad, recipient of the prestigious Karamveer Chakra (2024–25) in collaboration with the United Nations, is a prominent cyber security expert with over a decade of experience, recognized for his leadership across South Asia, Asia-Pacific, and ANZ regions. A TEDx speaker and recipient of multiple accolades including “Young Cyber Security Professional of the Year (2021),” he has been instrumental in driving cutting-edge cybersecurity strategies for governments and global corporations. Beyond his professional excellence, Mr. Gaikwad is a passionate social reformer, championing female education and rural development through his NGO, The NYRA Foundation. His initiatives like Project SETU and digital connectivity drives in remote regions have empowered thousands of underprivileged youth with education, skills, and job opportunities, while his efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic were widely praised by government authorities. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
