Hypochondriacs are a severe problem to the health system as they waste valuable medical resources and time. Some hypochondriacs will even be subjected to unnecessary exploratory surgery or treatments that can endanger their health.
It should be noted that in some cases hypochondria is misdiagnosed when the patient is indeed unwell, but the physician is unable to diagnose the real illness. For this reason, a patient's condition should be thoroughly investigated before diagnosing hypochondria.
Hypochondria was originally a term used for unidentifiable stomach pains that were a common concern in the ancient world. Eventually the term evolved to be the male counterpart to

A touch of hypochondria... I have always been one to ignore aches and pains... that is until the herniated disc in my back caused me to rethink that "I'm going to live forever" thing. I have tuned in a bit more to things that go ouch. Recently, the outside of my left heel has been hurting when I walk on it. With Pennie's foot issues, I was starting to wonder if I had bone spurs or something similarly icky. I mentioned it to Dave today and in a case of turnabout, he said, "you might have just bruised it or something." Well, that got me to thinking - as late night work sessions have a habit of making me do - and I just figured it out. Right after we checked in to the hotel last Friday night, I was setting my computer up on the table. As I backed away from the table, the outside of my left heel struck the leg of the chair with some serious force - after the obligitory rubbing the pain away, I had pretty much forgot about it. Upon palpitation of the area, it is pretty clear that there is a bump from hitting it and it is indeed bruised. Thanks Dave, for the memory jog.

Melancholy was a term that described a condition of deep sadness and lethargic behaviors leading to experiences of delusion and sometimes accompanied by a temptation to suicide (Midelfort 302). It reigned as one of the most common diseases of sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Europe and encouraged a great mass of literature that remains today a testimony to the extent of discontent in the human experience (145). Melancholy can easily be compared in contemporary terms to the mental illnesses defined as depression and manic depression and is considered by some to be a disease exclusively associated with sadness. Because of the widespread nature of the disease the term melancholy became generally applied to mental illnesses characterized by disturbances such as rage, anxiety, apathy or deep sadness (147). This led to the need for more accurate and reliable methods of diagnosis and separately defined symptoms and causes (221).
The second type of melancholy, described as unnatural, was the result of a corruption from demons and spirits. The possession of an individual by such outside forces would lead to symptoms of sadness that in many cases graduated towards manic episodes and the other behaviors of rage and eventual absolute madness (154). This was considered in some instances when the patient could not be cured of the disease. In such circumstances the demonic possession was of such a nature that the spirits had taken their form in the manifestation of a disease with symptoms similar to that of melancholy. But as it was believed that the devil could create infinite disguises, it was assumed that the source of the ailments was not natural and must have come from without (386).

M edical imaging technologies "noninvasively" open windows into secret depths of the body and brain, allowing visual interpretations of the interface between the visible and the invisible. PET scanning is an important diagnostic tool in diseases such as cancer, epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease. Detailed information about the body's biochemistry, which is subtly or grossly affected by different diseases, is gained from the analysis of glucose metabolism. The essence of PET scans is that the information gained is about processes rather than structure in the body. What is the relationship between the objectively defined data of the somatic body and the sense of self? We are able to gain a more and more detailed understanding of the finer and finer particles which form our physical body. However there are aspects of our state of being, which are difficult to define yet intrinsic to our understanding of who we are. I was scanned from head to toe two years ago. I was put through a Position Emission Tomography scanner at Royal Prince Alfred Hospital. This machine detected and measured the gamma rays emitted from my body and thus recorded an image of my biochemical function. In order to get this information, a radioactive tracer in the form of an isotope of glucose - fluorodeoxyglucose - was injected into me.

on the mind: the comforts of hypochondria
DISCUSSED: comfort reading, middle school narcissism, hypochondria, hypergraphia in The Midnight Disease , ex-boyfriends' mental issues, the mind/body divide
Earlier this week, some of my favorite bloggers posted lists of their top "comfort reads." Given the rate at which I buy books, three times the rate at which I read them, I rarely allow myself to revisit old books; so, I don't have "comfort books" so much as I have a "comfort genre."
That genre: psychological, psychiatric, or neurological studies of writers and the writing process. I first started reading these books when I was thirteen, and I can track changes in my personality by my choices within the genre. At first, I read psychological profiles of "geniuses"; my favorite book at the time sought to find the traits or common life experiences of "geniuses," and because, at thirteen, I assumed my everday misery fostered or foreshadowed great intellect, I littered the pages with checkmarks and memorized all the indicators of genius that I could apply to myself: sickly, near-sighted, oldest or only child, Jewish, upper middle class, etc. Over time, my reading choices changed. They stopped reflecting vain optimism, and, in college, began reflecting my losing battle with depression. For months at a time, I couldn't concentrate on anything outside myself; sometimes, I characterized this inability as a fear that, if I lost myself in a book, the losing would be literal. I could, however, read writers' autobiographies of depression, because they felt autobiographical to me, too, and my attention didn't have to wander back to my life, to make sure my life was still there.

Clinical Advances
Prozac: On Trial For Hypochondria By Robin Eisner To Sarah, a pain in the neck meant she had lymphoma. An opera singer and mother of two grown children, 57-year-old Sarah (not her real name) has suffered from hypochondria for more than 30 years. Throughout her life she would get symptoms, such as head and intestinal aches, and worry she was going to die. "I have this morbid dread and fear," she says. Sarah relied on her daughter, now 37 years old, to guide her about which complaints to seek medical attention for and which to ignore. "My daughter really tunes in on me," she says. Unlike other hypochondriacs, who go to many doctors and undergo numerous tests but doubt their reliability, Sarah fears doctors and even newspaper articles on health. Her life, she says, has been one of suffering and terror. But Sarah decided to take a risk, and she enrolled in a clinical trial run by Dr. Brian Fallon'85, assistant professor of clinical psychiatry. The trial tests whether Prozac, or fluoxetine-a drug currently approved by the FDA for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder-could help hypochondriacs. This five-year, $500,000, blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial of 100 patients is the first National Institute of Mental Health-sponsored controlled trial for the treatment of hypochondria. Started in July of 1993, the trial will determine whether Prozac can help hypochondriacs and if patients relapse after medication is withdrawn.

On hypochondria (or somatization disorder) Filed under: Medical Rants A New Era in Treating Imaginary Ills
Yet how to deal with hypochondria, a disorder that afflicts one of every 20 Americans who visit doctors, has been one of the most stubborn puzzles in medicine. Where the patient sees physical illness, the doctor sees a psychological problem, and frustration rules on both sides of the examining room. Recently, however, there has been a break in the impasse. New treatment strategies are offering the first hope since the ancient Greeks recognized hypochondria 24 centuries ago. Cognitive therapy, researchers reported last week, helps hypochondriacal patients evaluate and change their distorted thoughts about illness. After six 90-minute therapy sessions, the study found, 55 percent of the 102 participants were better able to do errands, drive and engage in social activities. Antidepressant medications, other studies indicate, are also proving effective. The biggest challenge is sorting out their hypochondriacal complaints from real disease, because even a hypochondriac can get sick.

Hypochondria What in the world is that you ask..
I shall endeavor to explain
Tis someone who thinks they're always sick
Everyday they find a new pain! Now all of us...to some degree
Suffer with this disease
But some of us are worse than others
So it's them we often tease! I have a friend, I shall not name
Who often feels quite ill,
Off to the doctor he will race
To get a different pill! The rest of us, his friends I mean
Are sometimes kind of bad We laugh behind his back you see When really, it is so sad! So a lesson now we had to learn And we learned it the hard way, We found out something shocking Our poor friend.....died yesterday! I guess he had the last laugh His mind was pretty quick For on his tomb was written...
