Important Notice: The Whiteley Index Test which you just completed is not intended to make a diagnosis of hypochondriasis, it is only meant as a guide. Do not take the following score analysis as diagnostic, only a physician can truly diagnose you as having hypochondriasis or not. Please talk to a physician if you feel that you have any serious medical problems. Whiteley Index Scores: Your total score: 14-28: It is unlikely that you have hypochondriasis 29-31: Borderline score (most people with hypochondriasis score higher than this) 32-56: Your score indicates that you may have hypochondriasis (higher scores indicate a higher likelihood). However, falsely high scores may be present if you have an actual illness, have generalized anxiety disorder, or are depressed. Please contact your physician for further evaluation. Come discuss your results in the forum!
