I found Hypochondriac to be an unsettling story, full of truth and accurate portrayals of what it feels like to be in the throes of mental illness. Heimann really captured what it looks like to outsiders, as well as how it must feel to the person struggling. Mental illness IS unsettling. It is uncomfortable and terrifying, and this film managed to keep the viewer in that world, before finally offering a not-expected ending. The way the ending REALLY showed what living with a mental illness can be like was poetic, and beautiful. Well done, indeed.
