All I have is anecdata myself. But it's not just the younger generation, you can go back a ways. I'm no youngster either. My old uncle was a hypochondriac.

All I have is anecdata myself. But it's not just the younger generation, you can go back a ways. I'm no youngster either. My old uncle was a hypochondriac. Mom said he just acted that way to get attention. One time he called and wanted her to fix him some chicken soup, and I ended up bringing it over to his apartment. I asked him how he was feeling and it was headaches, tiredness, foggy mindedness, and overall malaise. Doctor couldn't find a thing this time. I asked him how long had it been going on now. "In three weeks it'll be a month."
