Years ago my niece once caught a cold and fever. Since then she has been suffering from an influenced fear that she has a serious disease.
She has visited many doctors and got herself checked thoroughly .All said she is well and has no disease whatsoever.
Still she has been unable to get rid of the fear.
Even now she visits doctors and when they say she is well and has no problem at all, she thinks they are not good doctors and she needs to visit a better doctor.
Her father doesn't know what to do to help her to believe she is all okay.

We all know it's a mental problem, but she thinks her problem is physical. I have asked my brother to take her to a psychiatrist.1 person likes this

It's in her mind. Focus has to be shifted to something more engaging. How old is she?

@mytunemagic No, never.For hypnotherapy they would have to go to big cities However they are going to visit a psychopath in a day or two

@Shivram59 I think, marriage might help her recover. It is all about change in perspective. She'll feel protected. Have they ever considered hypnotherapy?

There's two routes you can take with this. Continue to see doctors, because she might be right. Doctors can be wrong, tests can lie. But, if she is not having symptms, diagnosis can be harder to discover (if that is in deed the case(.
That being said, assuming this is a psychosymatic disorder (meaning its in her head) psychological therapy might be the only option. At the very least, have her evulated, they are trained to determine if something is a geniunine medical issue, or a psychlogical disorder, which in both cases, she really does have a deasese.
Munchhousins, or hyperconderia are real psychological disorders with real conquienceses.

I'm sure it's a mental issue. She's all right Has no problem in her daily activities Most remarkably, she has been thinking so for last seven years If she had a physical problem, she would have been bed ridden by now. I've asked my brother to take her to a psychiatrist

welcome back!
I think the best you can do is just pray for her, and make sure that she gets all the attention and care she needs from you, it is hard to be trapped in that kind of fear.

My brother lives in a separate house. Our property has been partitioned. She takes her daughter to doctors, but she doesn't have any symptom of any disease. All tests are done She does all her daily activities.My brother also thinks she has a mental problem

@Shivram59 I think you should see a psychologist, but don't let her drink any medicine. Maybe she needs some counselling. Just counselling. Any medicine for the brain is too damaging. The most perfect medicine is prayer, love, and support for her.

@luisadannointed Her father has talked to a psychiatrist. He will take her to him very soon. Also, he prays for her recovery I agree that living constantly living in an unfounded fear will damage her brain.
