Understanding Somatoform Disorder: When the Mind Affects the Body
At Chennai Mind Clinic, Madipakkam, we care for both your mental and physical health. Somatoform Disorder is a condition where emotional distress shows up as physical symptoms, even when no medical cause is found.
Signs and Symptoms of Somatoform Disorder
Unexplained Physical Symptoms: Persistent pain, fatigue, or other physical complaints without a medical explanation.
Excessive Worry: Preoccupation with health and constant fear of serious illness despite medical reassurance.
Multiple Symptoms: Complaints about various parts of the body (like headaches, stomach pain, or chest discomfort) that don’t seem connected.
Emotional Distress: Symptoms often worsen during periods of stress or anxiety.
Impact on Daily Life: Difficulty functioning at work, school, or in relationships due to the symptoms.
The Mind-Body Connection in Somatoform Disorder
This disorder highlights how emotional stress can manifest as physical symptoms. Understanding and addressing the emotional triggers can significantly reduce the physical complaints.
