Features of Hypochondriacal Complaints in Patients With Anxiety Neurotic Disorders

Abstract

The manuscript details a study examining the nature of hypochondriacal complaints among patients with neurotic anxiety disorders. Participants reported a wide range of hypochondriacal symptoms, including cardiovascular complaints, sensory disturbances, and autonomic dysfunctions, reflecting a significant hypochondriacal aspect associated with anxiety. Findings indicate that short-term integrative psychotherapy can effectively address and alleviate this hypochondriacal dimension of anxiety.
