text: Hypochondriasis, what we typically call hypochondria, can be a serious illness, in which case it consists of “a preoccupation with the idea of being ill and spending so much of your time and effort looking for a diagnosis and treatment that you can’t function normally,” explains Dr. Steven Dubovsky, chair of the department of psychiatry in the Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo.
