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.
