Some people are not particularly positive in their mentality. They are particularly afraid that they will leave this beautiful world because of illness.

With this mentality, patients will become particularly anxious all day long, and their resistance will decrease even if they are not sick. So what should they do if they are always afraid of getting sick?

Hypochondriasis is the abbreviation of hypochondriacal neurosis, which is a neurosis characterized by the patient's obsession with his or her physical health and worrying that certain organs suffer from imaginary incurable diseases. The main symptoms of hypochondriasis are:

Pay special attention to your body. Patients are often highly aware of activities that most people do not pay attention to, such as heartbeat, intestinal motility, etc., or any uncomfortable feeling somewhere in the body, such as slight pain, soreness, etc. They pay special attention to nasal secretions, mucus in feces, swollen lymph nodes, coughing, etc., and infer that they are sick from this.

Hypochondriacal worries. It is worrying about one's own physical health or imaginary "serious illness". The severity of the patient's anxiety about his or her physical health is inconsistent with his or her actual health status.

Hypochondriacal concept. The patient is convinced that he or she has a disease that does not actually exist, and there is nothing illogical about his or her reasoning, although the basis is not sufficient. But they could not accept the doctor's explanation and did not believe the doctor's diagnosis. They always think that they are suffering from a serious illness, or even an incurable disease, and thus become anxious and depressed all day long.
