Most individuals who previously would have been diagnosed with hypochondriasis in DSM-IV [1994] (preoccupation with having a serious disease based on the individual’s misinterpretation of bodily symptoms) are now classified as having somatic symptom disorder; however, in one-third of cases, the diagnosis of illness anxiety disorder applies instead.
