What is Hypochondriasis?
9. How Do You Prevent Hypochondriasis?
There is no foolproof method of preventing hypochondriasis. No one can predict how different people are going to internalize and react to the effects of trauma. The symptoms of illness anxiety disorder usually emerge before friends and family realize it could be an issue.
It may be possible to keep the problem from getting out of control, though. Early detection and intervention is key. Doctors and people close to the patient should be careful to neither ignore nor enable irrational perceptions. The sooner people can learn to recognize their condition for what it is, the better off they’ll be.
