There are many. This is why many elective procedures associated with anxiety and depression now require psych evals before a surgeon will consent to do them, at least at more prestigious medical centers. You&#x27;ll note if you go in for cosmetic surgery, lap band, gastric bypass, etc. many of these centers will ask for you to see a psych before proceeding.<p>Additionally, more anecdotally, have you ever visited the &quot;alt med&quot; internet? It&#x27;s literally swarms of people with anxiety and depression obsessing over how random medical minutiae (related to their dental work, their lap-choli, etc.) explain their set-of-symptoms-that-are-typical-anxiety.<p>These &quot;similar sets of cases&quot; aren&#x27;t hidden. They&#x27;re ubiquitous. They just set themselves as opposed to (1) the idea that they might have a psychological illness, and (2) anything that smacks of &quot;establishment&quot; medical care (which they both view with anxiety and with disdain and hurt, because it was that establishment that does not take their complaints at face value.)
