Definitions |
The essential feature of Somatization disorder is a pattern of recurring, multiple, clinically significant somatic complaints. A somatic complaint is considered to be clinically significant if it results in medical treatment (e. g., the taking of medication) or causes significant impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning. Individuals with this disorder usually describe their complaints in colourful, exaggerated terms, but specific factual information is often lacking. They often seek treatment from several physicians concurrently, which may lead to complicated and sometimes hazardous combinations of treatments. Adoption studies indicate that both genetic and environmental factors contribute to the risk for this disorder; having a biological or adoptive parent with this disorder increase the risk of developing it. Three features that suggest a diagnosis of Somatization disorder rather than a general medical condition include: 1) Involvement of multiple organ system. 2) Early onset and chronic course without development of physical signs or structural abnormalities. 3) Absence of laboratory abnormalities that are characteristic of the suggested general medical condition. Somatization disorder does nor protect individuals from having other independent general medical conditions. The onset of multiple physical symptoms late in life is almost always due to a general medical condition. DSM-IV-TR (american Psychiatric Association) Disorder in which the individual with it chronically complains of bodily symptoms that have no physical basis. Understanding abnormal behavior.David Sue, Derald Wing Sue, Stanley Sue. A somatoform disorder that involves persistently complaints of varied physical symptoms that have no identifiable physical origin. |
