A Cultural History Of Hypochondria

Sometimes the alternative is dying, or I think the more pernicious version is you might feel like, well, if I just wait, if I just wait a little bit longer, maybe there'll be something better, when actually waiting can be a terrible decision to make.

The idea is that hypochondria can be a response to some past trauma in the same way that post-traumatic stress disorder is related to a trauma in your past, that hypochondria and illness anxiety can be a response to such a past trauma in a illness or medically related sense.

I spoke to some people when I was working on the book that had some more circuitous roots to it, such as someone who was a twin and her twin had had some quite serious childhood illnesses that required them to be hospitalised. She, the other twin, had been completely healthy, but watching her twin go through that had then, as an adult, surfaced for her as hypochondria.

Definitely, yes. Some of the therapy I've done has been very specifically about that procedure, actually. The larger question of, oh, this might affect your fertility, I don't even really remember registering with me very hard at the time. I was 17 and the idea of having children felt very remote to me. I was still technically a child myself, according to the health service.
