在生活中,常有这样一些老年人,当看到或听到一些同龄人疾病缠身,沉疴不起,以至与世长辞时,便忧心忡忡,生怕有朝一日病魔或死神向自己袭来。也有的根据自身的某些轻微症状而怀疑得了严重疾病,虽经各种检查未发现异常,却仍不能消除疑虑,整日悲哀、恐惧。其实,这不过是一种“恐病症”。 In life, there are often such elderly people who are worried when they see or hear some of their peers suffer from illness or depression, or even die of long-term suffering, for fear that they may one day be attacked by illness or death. Some also suspected some severe diseases according to some minor symptoms of their own. Although no abnormalities were found through various tests, they still could not dispel doubts, all-day sadness and fear. In fact, this is only one kind of “fear of illness”.
