A boss exhibiting hypochondria creates challenges for employees tasked with researching his health concerns. This intense health anxiety is a recognized mental illness, potentially becoming more prevalent post-COVID. Both illness anxiety disorder and somatic symptom disorder stem from excessive preoccupation with health. The rise of 'cyberchondria' complicates this issue, with employees feeling the strain of their boss's demands for medical information. It's emphasized that employees are not responsible for their boss’s health issues, and seeking help should be encouraged.
Your boss does seem to have a real illness, but it has nothing to do with moles.
Hypochondria, also known as intense health anxiety, is a form of mental illness that can be disruptive and dangerous, but treatable.
The COVID pandemic exacerbated many people's health anxiety.
You aren't your boss's psychiatrist, and this (among other things!) is definitely not your job.
