Question:

What is the name of that mental disorder when you think your sick but really arnt?

In general psychology we studied about a disorder were you think you are sick, but you are not really sick. Does anyone know the name of it?


Answers:

hypochondria (sometimes referred to as hypochondriasis) is the actual name of the mental disorder.

*the person who suffers from this is a hypochondriac.


Munchausen Syndrome, a different disorder, is where the person actually fakes illness, sometimes using self-harm to do so, in order to get attention and sympathy from others
