The diagnosis depends on recognizing a long-standing pattern of seeking medical intervention for vague, multisystemic symptoms, often without clear physical cause. These patients use symptoms as a way to communicate, express emotion, and be taken care of. Instead of recognizing the disorder and exploring psychosocial contributors to illness, nonpsychiatric physicians tend to repeatedly pursue organic possibilities through multiple tests, procedures, medications, and operations.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Somatoform disorders Definition The somatoform disorders are a group of mental disturbances placed in a common category in the fourth (1980) edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) 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 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. The term

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. In particular, the psychiatric side of this equation often is the decision of whether the clinical presentation is the result of conscious feigning, what is called "malingering." Various clinical tests have been designed to assess the so-called "truthfulness" of a patient's pain or the "actuality" of the degree of effort they put forth which may be termed the "validity" for organicity of the test. It is my sense that the main difficulty is that the majority of practitioners making these decisions have too small a knowledge base and lack the clinical breadth to understand properly the scope of the clinical material that one may encounter. I In particular, it seems to me that the main problem is the one-sided conception that a problem is either in the mind or the body. Modern medicine has become filled with splitters those who for the sake of making 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.

Such symptoms cannot be related to any medical condition. If a medical condition is present, then the symptoms must be excessive enough to warrant a separate diagnosis.

Introduction Clinical Features Care Needs and Mobility Considerations Further Evidence 19.9.1 Introduction (i) In dissociative and conversion disorders the predominant symptoms are physical . The term conversion disorder implies that in the affected person anxiety has been replaced by (or "converted into") physical symptoms. It is assumed that the physical symptoms serve a function in that they enable the affected individual to avoid situations with which they cannot cope. These disorders are also forms of neurosis; but in view of their importance and the critically important need to differentiate them from malingering where an apparent disability is out of proportion to the physical condition,this separate section is devoted to them and related disorders. (ii) An alternative name for these disorders is hysteria. Although this term is still in use, many psychiatrists avoid it because colloquially it is used to describe exaggerated and extravagant displays of emotion. This is not the meaning of hysteria when used in the clinical context.
