WOD: WORRIED WELL; HYPOCHONDRIAC

WORRIED WELL  = people who are worried (or convinced) that they have a particular disease, even though they are physically well (in other words, they do not actually have the disease)

 A synonym for this expression is the word HYPOCHONDRIAC which describes a person who worries a lot about their health and thinks that they are ill when they are not

An article on BBC News entitled ' Dealing with the worried well' reads:  ' This week it emerged that some three million people in the UK suffer from imaginary food intolerances. Are we really a nation of hypochondriacs?'
