Answer to Question 2

Hypochondriacal individuals exhibit physiological arousal, which often is reflected in tension, anxiety, and sleep disturbances. They also have a bodily focus, which is illustrated in close monitoring of bodily features, attention to information that is consistent with worries about illness, and preoccupation and rumination about physical complaints, Finally, they engage in behaviors designed to avoid or check for physical illness: these include repeated self-inspection, repeated medical consultation and reassurance-seeking, rigid views and behavior regarding diet or lifestyle, and efforts to avoid physical exertion or contact with people who seem to have a disease.
