Beskrivelse
Hypochondriasis Under the Microscope is an insightful anthology that bridges psychology, medicine, and neuroscience to explore the enigmatic condition of hypochondriasis through a diverse array of scientific journal articles. Beginning with the prevalence of hypochondriac symptoms among health science students in China, the book underscores the mental distress faced by those with limited medical knowledge. As it transitions to clinical settings, it highlights the role of ultrasound in diagnosing right upper quadrant pain and its intersections with hypochondriac concerns. Further dimensions are uncovered within bipolar disorders, where personality traits and emotional states exacerbate health anxieties. The harrowing impact of COVID-19 on nurses' mental resilience is also scrutinized, revealing a stark relationship with hypochondriasis. Neuroscientific research unveils altered neurochemical ratios in hypochondriac patients, drawing parallels to obsessive-compulsive disorder. A critical analysis of therapeutic responses differentiates the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy and fluoxetine, tailored to individual symptomatology. Delving into primary care, the book examines the unique presentation of DSM-IV hypochondriasis, distinguishing it from somatization disorders, while advanced imaging studies reveal structural brain changes. Finally, a comparative study of chronic pain in Brazil offers insights into the cultural and psychological nuances of hypochondriasis and related personality traits. Each article in this compendium enriches our understanding of the bewildering mind-body interplay in hypochondriasis, fostering a nuanced and comprehensive perspective on this multifaceted condition.
