Some people have a tendency to experience psychological stress in the form of physical symptoms like chest discomfort, stomach aches, or focal pain, a phenomenon known as somatization. This can make diagnosis tricky for clinicians, as the presenting symptoms are not reflective of the underlying pathology. Patients with severe and persistent somatization are sometimes diagnosed with somatoform disorders. In this video, we will look at the process of somatization more generally and then talk about somatic symptom disorder, a condition that features somatization as its primary symptom.

Learn more somatization and somatic symptom disorder, including its core signs and symptoms, prognosis, and treatment, in this high-yield talk intended for all healthcare providers, including doctors, medical students, psychologists, nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, social workers, and more!
