Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 110 The nature OF hypochondriasis. - The characteristic feature of hypochondriasis is that the patient habitually experiences a feeling of profound illness, based on a variety of peculiarly distressing and harass ing sensations to which he is subject, and which he refers to one or several of the viscera of his body. These sensations will, if sufficiently long con tinned, gradually engross his attention to such an extent that he can think of little else, and is led to brood over their significance and eventual issue. His imagination thus becomes disordered, and he creates for himself one or several imaginary illnesses from which he believes himself to be suf fering. The sensations are, therefore, real, but the construction put upon them is false, and the further development of the neurosis hinges upon this peculiarity. Forms OF hypochondriasis. - In a considerable number of cases the head is the principal seat of the odd and distressing sensations which are experienced. There may be pain, but complaints are more frequently made of pressure, tightness, fulness, dryness, icy coldness or boiling heat, creaking, splitting, the ticking of a clock in the head, etc., explosions by which the brain appears to be shattered, a sensation as if ants or snakes were creeping or crawling about it, or as if the brain were pulled as hard as possible in different directions, or torn up by claws, or filled with live coals, etc. Where such and analogous feelings are frequently experienced we cannot be surprised that the patient should be led to4 althaus: hypochondriasis and nosophobia.
