Somatoform Disorders Somatization Disorder Conversion Disorder Hypochondrias i ... Samatoform NOS I. INTRODUCTION A. Definition: A group of disorders that include physical symptoms for which an adequate medical explanation can not be found. Symptoms are serious enough to cause the patient significant emotional distress or impairment of the patient's ability to function in social and occupational roles. Psychological factors are a large contributor of the symptoms' onset, severity and duration. Symptoms are not under voluntary control B. History: 1980: The "somatoform" concept introduced in DSM‑III Not to be equated with " psychosomatic illness" and " somatization." a) Psychosomatic illnesses (DSM-IV "Psychological Factors Affecting Medical Condition") b) Somatization " is attributed to Stekel (Lipowski 1988), who early in this century defined it as a bodily disorder that arises as the expression of a deep‑seated neurosis.

IX. POST TRAUMATIC STRESS AND SOMATOFORM DISORDERS A. Psychiatric Morbidity Psychiatric morbidity due to service during the Gulf War was predicted to be low for several reasons: the short duration of the conflict, the relatively low casualties sustained by American forces, and the positive support for the war at home. Examination of records of evacuation during the conflict is one approach to examining the extent of psychiatric morbidity: the Army rate of evacuation for psychiatric reasons translated to only 2.7 per 1,000 evacuations per year.[ ] This very low rate of psychiatric evacuations is in contrast to prior wars in which evacuations for psychiatric disorders in comparison to total evacuations were: 23% in World War II, 10% for Korea, and 7% from Vietnam[ ]. Of the roughly 250 Army personnel evacuated from the Gulf for psychiatric reasons, approximately fifty (20%) were later determined to be disabled for further military service; levels of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD2) were found to be very low, with only four of these 50 carrying a diagnosis of PTSD [ ]. Another approach to assessing psychiatric morbidity possibly relating to service in the Gulf is to examine the numbers of service members referred for disability determination due to psychiatric disorders. As of March 1994, approximately 294 soldiers with psychiatric-related diagnoses were referred for disability determinations. Of these, 112 carried the diagnosis of PTSD.[

Mental Health External survey "Questionnaire on mood" conducted by the "IMSP- Faculty of Medicine - University of Geneva" Childhood Mental Health: Somatoform Disorders Description The somatoform disorders are a group of mental disturbances placed in a common category in DSM-IV on the basis of their external symptoms. The terms hypochondriasis and hysteria were traditionally designated to these disorders and are still widely used. Somatoform disorders in the DSM-IV are described as follows: The somatoform disorders are distinguished by physical symptoms suggesting a medical condition, yet the symptoms are not fully explained by the medical condition, by substance use, or by another mental disorder. The symptoms are severe enough to cause patients significant distress or impaired social, occupational, or other functioning. The physical symptoms of somatoform disorders are not intentionally produced as are those of factitious disorders and malingering, but no medical condition can fully explain the somatic symptoms.

It is a break in the mental processes of connection between events. There are four types of dissociative disorders: depersonalization disorder dissociative amnesia dissociative fugue , and dissociative identity disorder Depersonalization disorder can be defined as a persistent and pervasive feeling of being detached from oneself that leads to significant distress and functional impairment. The depersonalization experience cannot occur in the presence of another disorder, and during that period, reality testing, such as the date and time, remains intact. This disorder is highly comorbid with panic disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder Dissociative amnesia is characterized by a sudden inability to recall extensive and important personal information. The onset is sudden and may be a result of immediate stress or trauma. There are five types of dissociative amnesia:

MAIN SEARCH INDEX Somatoform disorders Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources Definition The somatoform disorders are a group of mental disturbances placed in a common category on the basis of their external symptoms. These disorders are characterized by physical complaints that appear to be medical in origin but that cannot be explained in terms of a physical disease, the results of substance abuse, or by another mental disorder. In order to meet the criteria for a somatoform disorder, the physical symptoms must be serious enough to interfere with the patient's employment or relationships, and must be symptoms that are not under the patient's voluntary control. It is helpful to understand that the present classification of these disorders reflects recent historical changes in the practice of medicine and psychiatry. When psychiatry first became a separate branch of medicine at the end of the nineteenth century, the term hysteria was commonly used to describe mental disorders characterized by altered states of consciousness (for example, sleepwalking or trance states) or physical symptoms (for example, a "paralyzed" arm or leg with no neurologic cause) that could not be fully explained by a medical disease. The term dissociation was used for the psychological mechanism that allows the mind to split off uncomfortable feelings, memories, or ideas so that they are lost to conscious recall. Sigmund Freud and other pioneering psychoanalysts thought that the hysterical patient's symptoms resulted from dissociated thoughts or memories reemerging through bodily functions or trance states. Prior to the categorization all mental disorders that were considered to be forms of

Advertising Information Somatoform Disorders Somatoform Disorders are those conditions that are suggestive of a physical disorder but upon examination cannot be accounted for by a medical disorder, a substance or other mental disorder. These disorders are usually presented in general medical settings as the patients presume them to be of somatic origin. To warrant the diagnosis of Somatoform Disorder the symptoms must cause significant impairment or distress. Somatization Disorder was formerly called hysteria. Primarily affecting women, it generally has its onset in adolescence or early adulthood and lasts for years. Its symptoms usually include a combination of pain, pseudoneurological, digestive and sexual complaints. Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder is a milder form of Somatization Disorder lasting at least six months. Conversion Disorder is characterized by unexplained sensory motor deficits which are judged to be psychogenic.
