The risk of death from circulatory and respiratory diseases was also higher, except for the risk of death from cancer.\"Despite their pervasive fears of illness and death and frequent medical consultations, individuals with hypochondriasis have an increased risk of death, both from natural and unnatural causes, compared to individuals from the general population,\" said David Mataix-Cols, a lead researcher of the study.\"Superficially, one might think that because they frequently consult with doctors, individuals with hypochondriasis may have a lower risk of death. However, clinicians working with this patient group know that many individuals experience considerable suffering and hopelessness, which could explain the elevated risk of suicide we describe in the paper,\" Mataix-Cols said.According to him, most of the deaths among people with hypochondriasis are preventable, suggesting the need for improved detection and evidence-based treatment for the condition.Here are some of the signs of hypochondriasis:Preoccupied with thoughts of getting a serious diseaseConstantly reading or talking about health, possible illnesses and symptomsWorried about minor symptoms and exaggerating their severityAvoiding people and activities fearing catching infectionsFrequent visits to the doctor to check health status or complete avoidance fearing diagnosis","og_url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/it\/le-persone-che-soffrono-di-ansia-per-la-malattia-possono-essere-maggiormente-a-rischio-di-morte-e-conoscono-segni-di-ipocondria\/","og_site_name":"Urban Care Clinic","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/urbancarezanzibar","article_published_time":"2023-12-14T11:22:01+00:00","og_image":[{"url":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/people-who-have-anxiety-about-illnesses-may-be-at-greater-risk-of-death-know-signs-of-hypochondriasis.jpg","width":1024,"height":1024,"type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Urban Care Clinic","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Scritto da":"Urban Care Clinic","Tempo di lettura stimato":"2 minuti"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/people-who-have-anxiety-about-illnesses-may-be-at-greater-risk-of-death-know-signs-of-hypochondriasis\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/people-who-have-anxiety-about-illnesses-may-be-at-greater-risk-of-death-know-signs-of-hypochondriasis\/"},"author":{"name":"Urban Care Clinic","@id":"https:\/\/urbancare.clinic\/#\/schema\/person\/a304a61bcf298680ee41e2e9ae193930"},"headline":"People Who Have Anxiety About Illnesses May Be At Greater Risk Of Death;
