Hypochondriasis: Understanding Excessive Health Anxiety - Dr.Arnab's Talk@9804509480 HYPOCHONDRIASIS Hypochondriasis, also referred to as illness anxiety disorder, is a condition where someone is preoccupied with the possibility of having a serious illness. Here are some symptoms of hypochondriasis: Preoccupation with having a serious illness: People with hypochondriasis are constantly worried about their health and are convinced they have a serious illness, even after being reassured by a doctor. Misinterpreting minor symptoms: They may misinterpret minor aches, pains, or other sensations as signs of a serious illness. For example, a headache may be interpreted as a brain tumour, or a stomach-ache as cancer. Excessive reassurance seeking: People with hypochondriasis may frequently visit doctors, seek out multiple medical opinions, and undergo unnecessary medical tests in an attempt to get reassurance about their health. Repeatedly checking for signs of illness: They may become preoccupied with checking their bodies for signs of illness. Difficulties functioning: The worry about illness can be so intense that it interferes with their daily lives, work, relationships, and social activities. Excessively researching symptoms online: People with hypochondriasis may spend a lot of time researching symptoms online, which can worsen their anxiety. If you are concerned that you or someone you know may have hypochondriasis, it is important to seek professional help.
