What is somatoform disorder? What are the typical symptoms of somatization form disorder?

Somatic form disorder is a neurosis characterized by persistent fear or belief in the dominant notion of various somatic symptoms. The patient has repeatedly sought medical attention for these symptoms, and various negative medical tests and doctor's explanations have not reassured his doubts. Even if there is sometimes a physical disorder, it does not explain the nature and extent of the symptoms complained of, or the perception of distress and dominance.

It is often accompanied by anxiety or depression. Although the onset and persistence of symptoms are closely related to unpleasant life events, difficulties, or conflicts, patients often deny the presence of psychological factors. They also reject the possibility of psychologically, even when they have significant depression and anxiety.

Understanding the cause of symptoms, both physically and psychologically, can be difficult. Patients often have some degree of attention-seeking (executive) behavior and believe that their disorder is physical and requires further investigation, and if they are unable to convince the doctor to accept this, they will become resentful and more likely to be accompanied by attention-seeking behavior. This disorder affects both sexes and has a chronic fluctuating course.

Somatization disorders are characterized by varied, recurrent, and frequently changing somatic symptoms. When examined carefully, these symptoms are likely to be transformed into unpleasant feelings caused by stress. Symptoms are often present for years before a psychiatric visit.

Most patients have had a complex experience of long-term contact with primary and specialized health care facilities, during which they have undergone many tests that have no positive findings or surgeries that have yielded nothing. Diagnosis should be noted in the presence of a wide variety of variable physical symptoms for at least 2 years, without any appropriate physical explanation, and the constant rejection of advice and assurances from multiple physicians that there is no physical explanation for their symptoms.

Symptoms and the behaviors they cause cause some degree of impairment in social and family functioning.

Somatic form disorder is characterized by a variety of recurrent, frequently changing physical discomfort symptoms that can involve any part or organ of the body, and various medical examinations cannot confirm that there are any organic lesions sufficient to explain the physical symptoms.

In some studies, about 20% of female first-degree relatives of patients with somatization disorder also met the diagnosis of somatization disorder. This familial aggregation can be influenced by genetics, environmental factors, or a combination of both.
