The dictionary defines hypochondria as:
"imagined ill health, valetudinarianism, anxiety about one's health, preoccupation with one's health, health obsession; neurosis; rare hypochondriasis, hypochondriacism.".
Given that religion attracts those who may be considered vulnerable and weak, could there be more than just a passing parallel with hypochondria?
After all, hypochondriacs have a predilection to shun medicine and gravitate to quacks such as naturopaths and chiropractors, who of course will pander to their every moan and groan.
So too, perhaps many gravitate to religion to satisfy a certain feeling of loss with oneself and of course, religious practitioners are eager to hold their doors wide open ready to pander to every deluded thought.
