- Mitochondrial disorders are a group of genetic conditions that affect how mitochondria in your cells produce energy12. Mitochondria produce most of the energy your body needs. If you have a mitochondrial disease, your cells aren’t able to produce enough energy. There are many types of mitochondrial disorders, which can affect one part of the body or many parts, including the brain, muscles, kidneys, heart, eyes, and ears2. There isn’t a cure, but treatment can prevent life-threatening complications1.Learn more:✕This summary was generated using AI based on multiple online sources.

Hypochondriasis an emotional condition that produces physical symptoms. People with the condition tend to misinterpret physical symptoms. They believe they have a serious illness, or are preoccupied with fear of having a serious illness. These beliefs and fears persist despite repeated reassurance from doctors. People with hypochondriasis are not suffering from delusions. They may admit that their fears are excessive or even completely unreasonable, though compelling. The symptoms cannot be explained by depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, an anxiety disorder, or any other psychiatric condition.Q&A: Hypochondriamicrosoftstart.msn.com WEBMitochondrial diseases are genetic conditions that affect how mitochondria produce energy in your cells.
