Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders

Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders are characterized by the presence of prominent somatic symptoms as well as the abnormal thoughts, feelings, and/or behaviors in response to the somatic symptoms. These symptoms and the response to them result in significant distress and impairment to the individual. The symptoms themselves may sometimes be less important than the way individuals will present and interpret them.
