A member asked:

Are you a hypochondriac if you mostly think you have mental illnesses?

Interesting, but no: This is a technical question--and good for a test, but, people with hypochondriasis are preoccupied with fears of having a serious disease based on a misinterpretation of bodily symptoms. A fear that that one has mental illnesses could be discussed with a mental health professional.
