by information from this website, "hypochondria" IS an ACTUAL desease
by acient greek's study, but because it didn't fit any one of western
medicine catagery, it was used as a substitute word for "imagined"
deseases!
When people have unknown body pain, they tend to blame their mental problems. However, I found that's not always the case. Very often, physical problems can be the true causes of our mental unwellness. CFS is such an illness that has been misunderstood as "mental problem" for long time. As a sufferer myself, I like to share with others about my struggling and fighting experience with this fierce invisible disease. --- This is the journal of my physical wellness.
