Yes, hypochondria can be treated, although the health anxiety of the patient does not go completely but diminishes with time. Treating an older person is easier and less time taking as compared to someone who has always been cautious, anxious and afraid of physical disease. Treatment Cognitive-behavioral treatment combined with medication can be used for treatment of a hypochondriac. Time, patience and several hours of discussions with the patient regarding his fears, symptoms and anxiety can help the patient considerably.
