Discussion
Who are the worried well? They are not people with a definable health-related psychiatric condition such as somatoform disorder, or what used to be called hypochondriasis*. The worried well are also not people with medically unexplained symptoms that persist despite sometimes extensive evaluation.
Rather, the worried well are generally healthy individuals with less severe and typically more intermittent concerns about their health, often focused on a specific potentially undiagnosed illness or vague or nonspecific symptoms they wonder might represent the presence of significant disease. Fueled by an abundance of health-related information available online, it is very easy to look up a common symptom and find a rare or serious disease to match it. https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2018/02/challenge-worried-well....
