Of course you can. However you have to go and see your GP and get him to refer you to a counsellor to deal with the emotional distress and then get him to refer you to the hospital for further tests. What will then happen is that you will be referred to specialist hospital where a consultant will fully assess you and do all sorts of scans, blood tests and lots of other investigative tests that end in oscopy. They may keep you in for a while, in the ICU while you are hooked up to drips etc. You will then finally be discharged, in your wheelchair along with a bottle of oxygen and a mask, just in case, and script for your tablets. You will have to go in again every 2 weeks to have the tests run again and get a repeat script (and they will probably up the dose as the tablets will be doing no good whatsoever!).

Ah, you are having a joke :)
Hypochondria is a serious mental disorder that can sometimes consume the lives of those it affects, even becoming disabling.
Certain antidepressant medications may be helpful in treating hypochondria. Some research indicates that both selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) may help relieve such symptoms as anxiety, fear of disease and somatic problems. However, these medications can cause side effects that may actually increase your health anxiety because you may wind up attributing them to a serious physical problem.
Psychotherapy is the primary treatment for hypochondria. If you are concerned, you should speak to your Doctor who will able to discuss your options with you. The waiting lists for physcotherapy can be very long (I've been waiting over a year) but your doctor can recommend a reputable phsycotherapist in your area if you wish to go private. Prices vary, but usually are around £35-£40 an hour.

I doubt there's a widely used/regular medicine for hypochondria with the aid of fact the guy might desire to be 'suffering' from a million diverse issues. How approximately merely having a physician look them interior the face and say 'there isn't something incorrect with you!' Giving them a placebo might merely motivate them to do it greater with the aid of fact they think of they are getting scientific look after despite is 'incorrect.'

Yea, go to the doctors and ask for something called a placebo, your feel so much better after, really does the trick!

It depends...you can get pills that help with OCD, so I sure there must be something for your problem...but I think it would have to be deemed a bad enough case before someone would give it to you...well it would be charactor altering

Yes, go to the doctor and ask for a stronger placebo.

I had a friend who had hypochondria, he died, and on his grave stone it said "See I told you I was ill!"

Haha!!! Probably you could get your shrink to give you some placebos, or saline injections.
