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.
