10 Hypochondriac Symptoms
Symptom #4: Acute Distress
Serious illnesses can be devastating to whole families. Not only can the patient suffer, but also those that are closest to them. There can be so much concern about what the future holds and how much pain will be endured that the patient can sometimes find it difficult to focus and get things done.
This much is understandable, but some of the time, such distress is far less logical. Hypochondriacs can find that their concerns about getting sick cause them to experience acute distress. In severe cases, it can even become debilitating and leave them unable to function as effectively as they should.
