	Hypochondria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hypochondria is often characterized by irrational fears of being diseased/dying, obsessions over minor bodily symptoms or imperfections, doubt and disbelief in doctors' diagnosis, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis and preoccupation with one's body.
		Hypochondriacs often require constant reassurance, sometimes from multiple doctors, family and friends.
		One trap to be avoided is portraying hypochodria itself as a disease, thus confirming the hypochondriac's belief that he or she is, in fact, ill.

	Hypersensitive or a Hypochondriac
		It is my belief that the Hypochondriac not only chooses the smooth ocean bed; but they cannot seem to be able to tolerate with ease the rocky one.
		Therefore, hypochondriacs who most people consider complainers, are really people with the highest ability to use their sense of awareness.
		Hypochondriacs are more sensitive not only to pain but to the other senses as well.

	Are You Tolerating or Loving the Hypochondriac?
		Then over a period of time, trying to determine if the hypochondriac is ill or not becomes such a burden, that the strain takes a toll on the relationship itself.
		Daily, the hypochondriac enters his or her world convinced that he or she is ill or in pain.
		Instead, a hypochondriac embarks the day and upon rising and thought patterns immediately begin convincing them that they are still ill. Naturally, in order to cope with the thoughts of being 'still ill,' which slowly devastate them again, the hypochondriac turns to those they know for compassion.

	Acupuncture.Com - Hypochondriac Pain - Traditional Chinese Medicine
		Hypochondriac pain is a disorder characterized by pain over the unilateral or bilateral sides of the hypochondriac region.
		The etiology and pathogenesis of hypochondriac pain are: (1) emotional depression leading to the stagnation of liver-qi; (2) long-term stagnation of qi resulting in blood stasis; (3) dysfunction of the spleen causing the retention of dampness-heat; and (4) insufficiency of essence and blood failing to nourish the liver and its meridians.
		Manifestations: Hypochondriac pain, chest oppression, bitter taste in the mouth, dryness of the throat, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, redness of eyes, yellow-tinged sclera, skin and urine, yellow, greasy tongue coating and wiry, smooth and rapid pulse.

	Halfbakery: Hypochondriac Clinic
		Hypochondriacs waste the time of professional health workers by constantly claiming to be suffering from all manner of symptoms.

		Treating hypochondriacs for their psychological problems is, on the other hand, time well spent.

		Hypochondriacs live in constant terror that they are dying of some awful disease, or even several awful diseases at once.
		And because no physician or test can offer a 100% guarantee that one doesn't have cancer or multiple sclerosis or an ulcer, a hypochondriac always has fuel to feed his or her worst fears.
		Most physicians tend to think of hypochondriacs as nuisances — patients they are just as happy to lose.

		If the hypochondriacal fear is of delusional intensity, treatment with haloperidol, pimozide, thioridazine, risperidone, olanzapine, and other antipsychotics may lead to improvement.
