Hypochondriasis

Hypochondriasis is defined as a persistent preoccupation with a fear (or belief) of having one (or more) serious disease(s), based on person’s own interpretation of normal body function or a minor physical abnormality. 

  • Hypochondriasis or health anxiety, is worrying excessively that you are or may become seriously ill.

  • You may have no physical symptoms or you may believe that normal body sensations or minor symptoms are signs of severe illness, even though a thorough medical examination doesn’t reveal a serious medical condition.
  • You may experience extreme anxiety that body sensations, such as muscle twitching or fatigue, are associated with a specific, serious illness.
  • This excessive anxiety rather than the physical symptom itself results in severe distress that can disrupt your life.
  • Illness anxiety disorder is a long-term condition that can fluctuate in severity.
  • It may increase with age or during times of stress.
  • But psychological counseling (psychotherapy) and sometimes medication can help ease your worries.
