Hypochondria
Hypochondria refers to an intense and persistent worry about having a serious illness, which continues despite medical evaluations that find no problem to justify it.
How it shows up: It usually includes constant attention to bodily sensations, repeated seeking of reassurance, or frequent visits, with distress that affects daily life.
Common causes: Emotional factors and the handling of anxiety play a role, and they differ in each person.
Which specialist treats it? The psychologist and the psychiatrist are the professionals who support this type of concern. If worry about health causes constant distress, talking it over with a mental health professional can be a good starting point.
