Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transient hypochondriasis is a temporary preoccupation with the fear of having a serious disease after experiencing an actual acute illness. This can lead to excessive worry and preoccupation with physical symptoms, causing limitations in activities. La belle indifference refers to a lack of concern or emotional response to physical symptoms, body dysmorphic disorder is preoccupation with an imagined or exaggerated physical flaw, and factitious disorder involves intentionally producing or exaggerating physical symptoms for attention or sympathy. None of these accurately describe the fear and worry associated with transient hypochondriasis after an actual illness.
