What is hypochondria?

The essential feature of hypochondria is the worry and fear to suffer, or the conviction of having a serious illness, from personal interpretation of some bodily sensation or other sign that appears in the body. It may be, for example, moles, small wounds, coughs, even heartbeat, involuntary movements, or not very clear physical sensations. Although the doctor says you have nothing, the hypochondriac only stays quiet for a while, but reconsiders concern. To understand more deeply you can see the page on which the underlying psychological processes are described in hypochondria.

Stress and anxiety

Stress and anxiety

Stress is a feeling of physical or emotional stress. It can come from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry or nervous.

Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In small episodes stress can be positive, as when it helps to avoid danger or meet a deadline. But when stress lasts a long time, it can damage your health.
