A body made of glass: a history of hypochondria by Caroline Crampton

This very personal history of hypochondria balances sources from literature, medicine and philosophy with the author's own experience of health anxiety following serious illness in her late teens. Intelligent and literary, it explores the fine line between mental and physical health. Recommend to readers who enjoyed The body keeps the score.
