Hypochondria Your considered to be psychosomatic.


It is either hallucination or you actually are sick.


Hypochondria (or hypochondriasis, sometimes referred to as health anxiety or health phobia) is a somatoform disorder in which one has the unfounded belief that he or she is suffering from a serious illness. Hypochondria is often characterized by irrational fears of being diseased/dying, obsessions over minor bodily symptoms or imperfections, doubt and disbelief in doctors' diagnosis, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis and preoccupation with one's body. Hypochondriacs often require constant reassurance, sometimes from multiple doctors, family and friends.

Hypochondria is often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety, and can also be brought on by stress.

the answers you had before mine are right you can actually make your self believe you are sick Hypochondriac. And it's usually for attention. The person feels like that is the only way people will pay attention to them if they feel sorry for them. You know, bad attention is better than no attention at all. Counseling is recommended
