Hypochondriasis, also known as hypochondria, health anxiety or illness anxiety disorder, refers to worry about having a serious illness. This debilitating condition is the result of an inaccurate perception of the condition of body or mind despite the absence of an actual medical condition.

An individual suffering from hypochondriasis is known as a hypochondriac. Hypochondriacs become unduly alarmed about any physical or psychological symptoms they detect, no matter how minor the symptom may be, and are convinced that they have, or are about to be diagnosed with, a serious illness.

Describes a lot of wild-eyed dems, imo.

Hypochondriasis,...”

Have a client who is a mental health provider who is always suffering from something. Every time she doesn’t feel well she goes on the internet, puts in her symptoms and comes up with the most exotic diseases you can imagine and then off to the doctor she goes. She is also a liberal!
