Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Patients with hypochondriasis tend to be more anxious about their concerns and display more obsessive attention to detail,whereas the patient with conversion often exhibits less concern with the symptom they are presenting than would be expected.Neither disorder involves voluntary control of the symptoms presented,and the results of diagnostic testing for both would be negative (i.e. ,no physiological basis would be found for the symptoms).Secondary gains can occur in both disorders but are not necessary to either.
