Somatoform Disorders
Somatoform Disorders are mental health conditions where a person experiences physical symptoms that cannot be fully explained by medical issues. These symptoms can include pain, fatigue, or gastrointestinal problems, but medical tests often show no clear cause. People with these disorders genuinely feel their symptoms, which can lead to significant distress and impact their daily lives.
Treatment for Somatoform Disorders often involves therapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms. In some cases, medication may also be prescribed to manage anxiety or depression that can accompany these disorders.
