Somatization and Somatoform Disorders Somatization is where mental factors such as stress cause physical symptoms. Somatoform disorders are a severe form of somatization where physical symptoms can cause great distress, often long-term. However, people with somatoform disorders are usually convinced that their symptoms have a physical cause. Somatization What is somatization? When physical symptoms are caused by mental or emotional stress it is called 'somatization'. For example, many people have occasional headaches caused by mental stress. But, stress and other mental health problems can cause many other physical symptoms such as: chest pains, tiredness, dizziness, back pain, feeling sick, diarrhoea, period problems, etc. The term 'psychosomatic' means something similar to somatization, but includes other things. See separate leaflet called 'Psychosomatic Disorders'. How can the mind cause physical symptoms The relationship between the mind and body is complex and not fully understood. When we 'somatize', somehow the mental or emotional problem is expressed partly, or mainly, as one or more physical symptoms. However, the symptoms are real and are not imagined. You feel the pain, have the diarrhoea, etc. How common is somatization?

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. Pain Disorder is diagnosed when the primary symptom is pain and psychological factors are presumed to be important in the etiology, maintenance or exacerbation of the condition.
