________.Hypochondria, a conviction of physical illness that continues even when a doctor
assures the patient that nothing is wrong, has been considered a men's disorder; however, it is equally likely
to strike men and women. It is not imaginary, as is commonly believed-doctors agree that if a patient
experiences symptoms, they are real symptoms, even if they have no physiological cause. And
hypochondria is not harmless. It causes its victims considerable anxiety and suffering. In addition, treatment
of its endless symptoms costs time and money and strains the health-care system.
