Abstract
The term hypochondriasis was first coined over 2000 years ago to describe a physical illness afflicting the hypochondrium. Subsequently the term was used for a variety of physical illnesses, until the 17th century when forms of melancholia were labelled as hypochondriasis. Since then a very large number of psychiatric disorders have been given the term hypochondriasis, for example, a form of schizophrenia, anxiety neurosis and malingering (Kellner, 1986).
