Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy, including cognitive-behavioral therapy and biofeedback, can be very helpful to treat hypochondriasis. The key is to allow the person to better understand what is happening with his/her body and test distorted thoughts about perceived illness because of body features, functions, and symptoms. See your doctor for more assistance.
