How can you stop being a hypochondriac?

Know thy self: Hypochndria serves a psychological need. You may need to find out why you are overly concerned about your health or well being before you can change this. Consult a mental health professional or your medical doctor.

Get Treatment: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often the most effective approach to treating hypochondria. Psychoeducation and exposure therapy have been used as well as treatment with antidepressant medications when warranted.
