Do you believe that "hypochondria" is powerful enough to create real illness and injury?

Asked by hopscotchy (552points) June 28th, 2009

I use the term hypochondria loosely here, but is a person whose mental state is to assume him/herself a “sick” person more prone to actual illness? how can you tell the difference? how would you approach the subject with this person if you are worried they might be creating their own misery?
