Somatoform disorder: Hypochondriasis and illness anxiety disorder may become significant affecting one's quality of life and functional level. They are part of somatoform disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy and SSRI's have been successful in treating a condition that otherwise may harm the individuals affected due to disproportionate intensity of care in a medical system focused on finding structural changes.
