Hypochondriasis was once used as the name of the condition involving constantly and excessively worrying about one's health.
In this, patients come to believe, or at least to very strongly suspect, that they are sick with a serious, perhaps life-threatening disease.
The other type of hypochondriasis is called somatic symptom disorder. This type means you have signs or symptoms of an illness and fear it is a serious illness.
