The exact cause of hypochondriasis is not known. Factors that might be involved in the development of the disorder include: * A history of physical or sexual abuse * A history of having a serious illness as a child * A poor ability to express emotions * A parent or close relative with the disorder. Children might learn this behavior if a parent is overly concerned about disease and/or overreacts to even minor illnesses. * An inherited susceptibility for the disorder Information was found on http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/hypochondriasis There is plenty more information on this site, if you need more information.
