Question

Mental disorder in which the patient is preoccupied with body functions and sensations

• A. Hyperchondria
• B. Neurasthenia
• C. Post-traumatic stress
• D. Attention deficit disorder

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily or mental symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. Many individuals with hypochondriasis express doubt and disbelief in the doctors' diagnosis and report that doctors’ reassurance about an absence of a serious medical condition is unconvincing or short-lasting.

So the correct answer is 'Hyperchondria'.
