Hypochondriac is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter and rapper Brakence, released on December 2, 2022 through Sony Music and Columbia Records. The release was supported by five singles, a headline tour across America and a second leg tour with support from Gabby Start. The album has been described as hyperpop, and contains elements of emo rap, emo pop, and Midwest emo. Heavily influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lockdown, the album discusses depersonalisation and disconnection from others online.

Themes of drug use, social media, art in the age of content, relationships, mental health and hookups, are prevalent throughout the album. Hypochondriac was promoted with the Hypochondriac Tour beginning in November 2022. The album's production was handled by Brakence himself and Wyatt Otis. Commercially, Hypochondriac peaked at number thirteen on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums. The album's compact disc (CD) would release in December 2023.
