Somatoform Disorders

Both Somatoform and Factitious Disorders are included here. Somatoform Disorders are characterized by physical symptoms typically associated with a medical condition without the presence of a medical condition.

• Somatization Disorder: multiple, reoccurring complaints resulting in medical treatment
• Undifferentiated Somatoform Disorder: chronic, unexplained physical complaints
• Conversion Disorder: unexplained sensory or motor functioning that appear neurological
• Pain Disorder: unexplained pain whose onset and severity are psychological
• Hypochondriasis: preoccupation with having a serious illness
• Body Dysmorphic Disorder: exaggerated defect in physical appearance

Factitious Disorder is characterized by the intentional fabrication or falsification of physical or psychological symptoms.
