Psychosymatic illness in Contrast to Hypercondria?

please if anybody define the differences in theses two disorders, as i am of the belief that a person that is a Hypercondriact is a a cronic sufferer of Psychosymatic symptoms.

Answer:
It's all the same, hypochondria, somatiform disorder or psychosomatic. Same, Same, Same.
Psychosomatic symptoms: refers to the phsyical manifestaion of symptoms from the false belief that you are very sick with a particular infliction, ot can be very scary for many people
Hypochondria: Refers to a state in which an individual atrributes symptoms to very normal and non-pathological processes in the body stemming from an obsession with a particular or many ilnesses and the fear that they may be sick

Both disorders may interact and it is true that hypochondriacs may manifest psychosmatic symptoms but both afflictions may be mutually exclusive or intereact with other pathologies.

In ints extreme form both disorders can be very crippling and may be calssified as illneses in their own right
