Yes. Hypochondriacs can be obsessive with both phsyical and psychological illnesses.

I'm not sure what you want to know...but it does exist.

Sure Hypochondria is not limited to the physical it can also involve the psychiatric. Some times it depends on which illness the person thinks will get them the most attention. Because a need for attention is the driving force behind hypochondria. So what does having a psychiatric illness do for you. People don't do things with out a reason, even if they aren't sure what the reason is. You need to find out what your reasons are before you can figure out how to deal with those issues.

i think it's only a physical "illness" because if it were psychological, that means there would be something wrong with your brain. and there isn't any studies and tests to prove that there is. so it's only a physical illness.
