In the world today we make health an end in itself. We have forgotten that health really means to enable a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine, and this includes many patients as well as many physicians, pay very little attention to health but very much attention to those who imagine they are ill. Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspapers, the health articles in popular magazines and the popularity of television programmes and all those books on medicine. We talk about health all the time. Yet for the most part the only result is more people with imaginary illness. A healthy man should not be wasting time talking about health : he should be using health for work
Talking about health all the time makes people:
Often suffer from imaginary illness
In the comprehension passage, it is discussed that the modern world has developed a fixation with health, as evidenced by the numerous medical columns, health articles, and television programs dedicated to the topic. This focus tends to encourage people to think more about illnesses, even those that are not present, leading them to imagine illnesses that do not actually exist. As per the passage, a healthy individual should not focus excessively on health but rather utilize their health to perform work.
This preoccupation with health results in a rise of individuals who falsely believe they are sick, which aligns with the option that people often suffer from imaginary illness. Therefore, analyzing the context and the implications of the passage, the best answer is:
Often suffer from imaginary illness
