Besides my daily symptoms I didn't know
anything about Hypochondria.Until I started
reading about it.For almost 2 years I was
obsessing about diseases and death and didn't
really know why.I thought I was "strange" or
"over-sensitive" for having those weird
thoughts for no good reason.But then I
realized this was an actual illness and I
wasn't alone.I've gathered all the
information about Hypochondria I could
find.Which wasn't really a lot but hopefully
it can help you or someone you know recognize
the problem.
This condition has several warning signs
Studies show that between 6% and 10% of
people visiting doctors may be suffering from
hypochondria.
These are the symptoms :
- Frequent visits to the doctor.
- Fixation on a disease that no doctor has
diagnosed.
- Rejection of a doctor's reassurance that
there is nothing seriously wrong with you.
- Continuous doctor-shopping.
- Checking your body many times a day/week
for peculiarities.
- Preoccupation with an illness that you
see on television or in the newspaper.
- Excessive concern about fear or pain.
- Frequent thoughts of death.
