Somatic Symptom Disorders
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Somatic symptom disorders are characterized by real and persistent physical complaints—such as pain, fatigue, or digestive discomfort—accompanied by intense worry about health that affects daily life.
Common manifestations: Bodily symptoms that are not fully explained by an identified illness, along with anxiety, repeated visits to the doctor, or a great deal of attention to bodily sensations.
When to see a specialist? When worry about the symptoms interferes with work, studies, or relationships, it is worth seeking support.
Which specialist treats them? The psychiatrist and the psychologist are the right professionals to support this process, and the general practitioner helps rule out physical causes. Receiving mental health care, without judgment, contributes to improving well-being.
