In somatization disorders, there tends to be a pattern of multiple and recurrent symptoms and complaints that can involve any body system and often persist for years. Most frequently, the complaints involve the gastrointestinal system, the nervous system, the cardiopulmonary (heart and lungs) system, or the reproductive system. The symptoms begin before the age of 30 and occur more often in females. The symptoms are severe enough to lead to the person to visit the doctor or take medication, and may interfere with the person's life. The cause is not specific but symptoms begin or worsen after losing a job, close relative, or friend, or other loss. A lifelong history of sickliness is often present, and often people with this disorder relate to others only through their symptoms. A greater intensity of symptoms often occurs with stress

http://www.medhelp.org/forums/neuro/archive/5305.html

Extractions: I would like to know how a neurologist would differentiate temporal lobe epilepsy from somatization disorder. I have a lesion in the right temporal lobe and mildly abnormal EEGs evidencing "sharp"waves with some bilateral dysfunction. The only type of seizure I have had is periods of amnesia when on certain medications, anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. I have read about "Pure Amnesic Syndrome" and it sounds like what happens to me. Recently I started taking Dexatrim to lose weight and had another blackout. I had been told by neurologists in the past that I had a lower seizure threshold. Would OTCs such as Dexatrim cause a ?seizure? Or would this be characteristic of "disassociative amnesia" the DSM -IV lists under Somatization Disorder. If a person has somatization disorder, where neurologic complaints, including amnesia are listed in the diagnostic criteria, would abnormal EEGs be expected or is this an actual physical problem?

Extractions: neurocareusa.com home neurocare home neuropsychiatric education Introduction In the medical-legal arena, medical specialists, physical therapists, and psychiatrists are often called upon to make an assessment that renders an opinion as to the whether a patient's complaints or efforts are organically, psychiatrically, or pain-based or whether they are consciously feigned, rendering the diagnosis of malingering. Various tests have been designed to assess the so-called "truthfulness" of a patient's pain or the degree of effoft they put forth as a measure of the validity of the test. One of main theoretical difficulties practicioners must overcome in these patients is having a diagnostic grid that is too small to understand properly the scope of the clinical material that one may encounter. It seems to me that the problem lay in the seeming dichotomy between mind and body. Modern medicine has become filled with splitters those who for the sake of clear diagnostic criteria have arbitrarily decided that some conditions are physical (or use the term organic) while others are mental (also called functional). Of course there is truth to this, however, clinicians must face the fact that the body and psyche are irrevocably linked. This has been repeatedly proven scientifically and experimentally.

A somatoform disorder in which the person continually seeks medical help for recurrent and multiple physical symptoms that have no discernible physical cause, and that are often not physiologically possible, suggesting that psychological factors are involved. The medical history is complicated and dramatically presented. Compare with hypochondriasis.

Extractions: Healthinmind Mental Health Disorders Somatoform Disorders Somatization Disorder A very specific set of symptoms defines this somatoform disorder. The individual must have a history of physical complaints beginning before he or she is 30 years old that has caused significant distress or impairment. Among the complaints there must have been at least four pain symptoms, two symptoms involving the digestive tract, one involving sexual functioning, and one symptom involving the nervous system. The symptoms could have occurred at any time prior to the examination. The pain can have occurred at any place, during any activity; similarly, there are no further restrictions on the place or time of the other three classes of symptoms. The second requirement is that the symptoms cannot be adequately explained by any observable medical condition or by the effects of a drug. Finally, it must appear that the symptoms are not produced deliberately by the examinee. Somatization Disorder (SD) is relatively rare, and probably more common in women than in men. No more than 1 man in 500, and perhaps 1 woman in 200, has SD. People with the disorder may consult multiple physicians and receive many tests, and even operations, that turn out to be unnecessary. The disorder is likely to be lifelong; patients who seek or are referred to mental health professionals are difficult to convince that their symptoms have little physical basis, given that the patient did not voluntarily produce the symptoms. Denying the validity of the symptoms simply makes the patient seek another professional who acknowledges the genuineness of the symptoms. Patients' colorful, though often inconsistent, descriptions of their symptoms may initially be convincing to the physicians that they so often consult. Maxmen and Ward

Extractions: GARY TABAS, M.D. The phenomenon of somatization, which results in unexplained physical complaints, is ubiquitous in primary care settings although it often goes unrecognized. Medical training emphasizes the identification and treatment of organic problems and may leave physicians unprepared to recognize and address somatoform complaints. As a process, somatization ranges from mild stress-related symptoms to severe debilitation. Patients at the low end of the spectrum often respond to simple reassurance, but patients who are more impaired require interventions specifically designed to avoid unnecessary exposure to dangerous, costly and frustrating diagnostic procedures and treatments. (Am Fam Physician 2000;61:1073-8.) I n patients with somatoform disorders, emotional distress or difficult life situations are experienced as physical symptoms. Patients who somatize present with persistent physical complaints for which a physiologic explanation cannot be found. Failure to recognize this condition and manage it appropriately may lead to frustrating, costly and potentially dangerous interventions that generally fail to identify occult disease and do not reduce suffering. In patients with somatoform disorders, emotional distress is experienced as a physical symptom.
