A member asked:
Is it possible for hypochondria to manifest itself in more than just medical worries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: In hypochondriasis, most people focus on having more physical kinds of disorders -- but it's certainly possible for them to be preoccupied with fears of having mental health conditions also.
