A member asked:

Why does my mom think im a hypochondriac since i like health sites? maybe i want to be a doctor someday.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not sure: Being a hypochondriac means a lot of anxiety around your physical health status and worrying that any physical signal (pain, itch, etc) means there is something gravely wrong with you. This leads people to see a doctor frequently despite a normal evaluation and work up. Liking health related sites for information by itself does not make you a hypochondriac.
