Book Chapter Description

This chapter introduces the group of Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders (SSRD) that share one common feature: persistent somatic symptoms. Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD), Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder (FNSD), and Psychological Factors Affecting Other Medical Conditions (PFAOMC) focus on distress, interference, and problems in adjusting to somatic symptoms. Although individuals with Illness Anxiety Disorder (IAD) do not present with somatic symptoms, their mind is preoccupied with signs of somatic illness. Individuals with Factitious Disorder (FD) falsify somatic or psychological symptoms.
