Hypochondria is defined by Meriam-Webster as the extreme depression of mind or spirits often centered on imaginary physical ailments. It is normal to worry about getting some serious ailments sometime. But when it becomes a morbid obsession, it literally becomes a psychological problem, such as what you call a hypochondriac.
