What is Somatic Symptom Disorder?
Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is characterized by bodily symptoms (Soma means body) that are characterized by excessive and disproportionate thoughts about different bodily symptoms, such as pain in arms, legs, joints, headache, and stomach problems that might not be readily explained by physical examination or ancillary testing.
Affected people with these symptoms are found to be very much concerned about their health and despite several consultations, diagnoses, and treatment procedures they feel dissatisfied with their health outcomes. Such concern makes them anxious, distressed and affects an individual’s social, occupational, personal, and other areas of daily functioning badly.

No Indication of Agoraphobia
Your score indicates that you are probably not experiencing any symptoms of Agoraphobia. You are not scared of the outside world, and never feel the need to isolate yourself at home all the time. Traveling in public transport is not an issue for you, nor is going to open, crowded or enclosed places. You might feel anxious sometimes, but it isn’t because of the outside world or the likes. Whenever you are outside, you are not always looking for the easiest way to escape, and feel at ease all the time.
Public places don’t intimidate you, nor do you actively try to avoid them. Be it shopping centers, parking lots, parks, movie theaters or standing in lines, you are perfectly fine with these situations, and never have any panic attacks when in the midst of them.

Strong Indication of Agoraphobia
Your score shows a high indication that you may be experiencing Agoraphobia.

You have had panic attacks before when you have been outside, especially in crowded, enclosed, open places.
