MJA Home Managing somatoform disorders Bruce S Singh Psychiatrists rarely manage the majority of patients with somatoform disorders this difficult undertaking falls predominantly on general practitioners. PDF format Synopsis Introduction The transcultural perspective ... Make a comment Synopsis The management of somatoform disorders is a confusing and difficult area. There are many iatrogenic complications, including unnecessary and repetitive investigations and surgery, drug dependence and "doctor shopping". Somatisation is a world wide phenomenon and a common presentation of psychological distress. Three main groups of patients are encountered in general practice: those with high levels of somatic symptoms, those with illness fear, and those with somatic presentations of other psychiatric illnesses. Management is straightforward for the acute cases and consists of trying to get the patient to accept a link between the psychosocial conflicts and the symptoms. Management is very difficult for chronic cases, where care, not cure, is the goal, as is an attempt to limit harm to the patient and limit the cost to the health system.

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 DSM-IV 's 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.

Subject: Somatoform disorders Topic Area: Anxiety Forum: The Mental Health Forum Question Posted By: Heather on Thursday, June 15, 2000 I was recently diagnosed with this after 7 months of continual panic attacks, shortness of breath, dizziness, weak arms and legs, heavy chest pressure, back pain and skin and eye burning. I am to see my doctor next week and he said that he can help me with medications that will help me feel more comfortable. What could these be? I have been exercising and taking Nortriptyline neither of which are helping. I am not getting better at all even though I have totally accepted that I my physical symptoms were caused initially by stress. What is happening with the body chemistry exactly when it is somatoform? I don't totally understand it. I just get these dizzy spells and feel like I have sea legs along with intense eye burning. What can help this of the Nortriptyline has not. I have also taken xanax with no relief. Does this actually Go Away ever? Heather Answer Posted By: HFHS MD-JM on Thursday, June 15, 2000

Subject: Conversion, Somatoform disorders Topic Area: Anxiety Forum: The Mental Health Forum Question Posted By: GT on Thursday, May 18, 2000 Hi Dr, Thank you for taking your time to read this. I have not been diagnosed with these, or my Dr did not specifically say those words, yet I seem to manifest my anxiety physically with numbness and tingling that has lasted for along time, comes and goes, has made my life very scarey with physical testings, mri's blood work etc all normal. Anyhow im gradually accepting the fact that I indeed have this since all testing suggests nothing more. My qeustion to you is: I hear these disorders tend to follow an extreme trauma or an abusive situation, attack or being abused as a child. I have none of those above, besides being anxiety prone, I have not endured any abuse, mental physical etc. Im not someone in need of alot of attention or looking for sympathy I have a happy marriage, great husband and kids. So I wonder do I really fit this diagnosis? Its actyally a hastle for me and a hurdle, not something that I need nor want. Secondly I read some upsetting information that the prognosis of somatoform disorders is poor and tend to never go away. I currently am on Paxil which has calmed my nerves abit, yet is this correct, its permanent?

Introduction The term Neurosis was introduced in 1767 by Dr William Cullen of Edinburgh to refer to a group of mental disorders in which he thought there was a pathological deficiency in the N. System but without fever. So he included in his description illnesses like hysteria, hypochondriasis, palpitations, epilepsy, mania, asthenia and diabetes. As the 19th Century progressed the term came to be used for conditions that were neither psychotic or organic. The term Psychoneurosis was coined by Freud to refer to the conditions of: Phobic anxiety Obsessive- compulsive disorder Hysteria He thought these illnesses were due to unconscious conflict and were thus different from true neurosis such as neurasthenia and anxiety which he viewed as being of a chemical or physical cause. In recent years the term has come to be used in 3 ways: To indicate all non-psychotic syndromes To indicate specific disorders To describe underlying mental mechanisms Because of this confusion of use the term has been completely dropped from DSM IV.

Cognitive theories of somatoform disorders posit information processing biasesthat influence the maintenance, and perhaps the etiology, of somatization http://www.gwdg.de/~bbandel/gjp-poster-ott.htm

German Journal of Psychiatry SOMATOFORM DISORDER AND IMPLICIT MEMORY BIAS R. Ott , R. Spielberg, and O.B. Scholz Department of Psychology, University Bonn THEORETICAL BACKGROUND Barsky and coworkers argue, that somatosensory amplification is one central pathological mechanism involved in somatoform disorders. Furthermore, this bodily hypervigilance is suppossed to be based on a more general process of selective attention to unpleasant events. However, it is worth noting that this theoretical assumption about a more general process of selective processing not only concerning interoception is not based on experimental data. Aim of this study was to analyse cognitive processes for threatening auditory word material in somatoform disorders.
