| B. The preoccupation persists despite appropriate medical evaluation and reassurance. | DROPPED |

| C. The belief in Criterion A is not of delusional intensity (as in delusional disorder, somatic type) and is not restricted to a circumscribed concern about appearance (as in body dysmorphic disorder). | DROPPED |
| C. There is a high level of anxiety about health, and the individual is easily alarmed about personal health status. | |
| D. The preoccupation causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. | DROPPED |
| D. The individual performs excessive health-related behaviors (e.g., repeatedly checks his or her body for signs of illness) or exhibits maladaptive avoidance (e.g., avoids doctor appointments and hospitals). | |
| E. The duration of the disturbance is at least 6 months. | E. Illness preoccupation has been present for at least 6 months, but the specific illness that is feared may change over that period of time. |
| F. The preoccupation is not better accounted for by generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, a major depressive episode, separation anxiety, or another somatoform disorder. | F. The illness-related preoccupation is not better explained by another mental disorder, such as somatic symptom disorder, panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, or delusional disorder, somatic type. |
