The Deadly Consequences of Hypochondria: Study Reveals Higher Death Rates

A major study conducted in Sweden found that individuals with hypochondriasis, an anxiety disorder characterized by excessive fear of illness, have a shorter life expectancy compared to those without the condition. Researchers tracked 42,000 people over two decades, including 1,000 with hypochondriasis, and found that worriers lived an average of five years less. Hypochondriasis patients were also nearly four times more likely to die by suicide and had a higher risk of death from respiratory, circulatory, or neurological problems. The study suggests that chronic stress caused by perpetual worry and anxiety may contribute to physical health problems. Improved detection and access to evidence-based care are recommended.
