Hypochondria can develop early in life, even in childhood but is seen in people after they have suffered physical or sexual abuse. It is not diagnosed until people are older though, due to the fact that a patient is able to set up their own appointments and attend them without supervision. Most diagnosis of this condition occurs around the age of 20.

Is hypochondria a form of low self esteem?

Hypochondria is not typically considered a form of low self-esteem. It is a mental health condition characterized by excessive worry and fear about having a serious illness, regardless of medical reassurance. While individuals with hypochondria may experience anxiety and insecurity, it is not directly related to low self-esteem.


Is hypochondria inherited?

Hypochondria, or health anxiety, does have a familial component, suggesting that genetic factors may play a role in its development. Studies indicate that individuals with a family history of anxiety disorders may be at a higher risk for developing hypochondria. However, environmental factors, such as upbringing and personal experiences, also significantly contribute to its onset. Thus, while there may be a hereditary aspect, hypochondria is not solely inherited.
