Write to a local Dr.: I would suggest you write to a few physicians who specialize in Psychiatry around you and explain your situation. They may be able to help you. You can also call their offices. In addition, you may be able to find support groups online who can help you. Be careful who you accept advice from. It is best to have a doctor-patient relationship to help you. Good luck.

Hypochondriasis is a type of phobia. Phobias can be helped by a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy. In addition medication prescribed by a Psychiatrist add help. Please make arrangements to see a Clinical Psychologist. If you are experiencing physical symptoms have a physical exam to know if you are ill.
