A 46-year-old man has consulted five doctors in two years convinced he has bowel cancer. He has had three colonoscopies, all normal, and inspects his stool every day. He has no pain, no weight loss and no change in bowel habit, and says he feels physically well apart from occasional wind. He is reassured for a day or two after each normal result and then begins to doubt it. He conceals nothing, has taken no laxatives or other agents, and has no compensation claim. Which one of the following best describes his condition?
