diagnosiphilia

The obsession with needing a diagnosis for any problem that occurs in one’s life. Often results in a self-diagnosis.

“Mom, my foot’s been aching after my 5k walk, I think I need to get it checked out.”
“You just went to the doctor’s last week for a sore throat, maybe this time he’ll say it’s diagnosiphilia.”
