It's funny that us hypochondriacs most of the time go with the neurological disorders.

I think the only way I was able to get a brain scan was because I was so convincing with my GP. And I even brought it up. I also had a very wierd symptom - I had lost my ability to smell. I could smell nothing for 1.5 years. And then, after being in therapy for 9 months, it came back overnight. Purely psychsomatic.

Also, I too never thought I was depressed. I have been the life of the party ever since I can remember and always have a smile for everyone. I just thought I was anxious. In my case anyway, all of the smiling and good cheer was just a huge cover up for my own depression. I had fooled myself into thinking there was nothing wrong. It felt really good to let down this facade (gradually) in therapy.

Anyway, therapy helps with the anxiety and the hypochondriacal thoughts.
