🧠 Understanding Somatic Disorders
When Physical Symptoms Are Linked to Emotional Health
Somatic disorders involve physical symptoms — such as pain, fatigue, or weakness — that cannot be fully explained by a medical condition, but are very real and distressing for the person experiencing them.
These conditions are not "imagined" — they arise due to a complex interaction between the mind and the body.
Common Symptoms in Somatic Disorders:
- Unexplained body pain (headache, back pain, joint pain)
- Fatigue, dizziness, or weakness
- Breathlessness or chest discomfort without heart problems
- Gastrointestinal issues (bloating, constipation, nausea)
- Numbness or tingling
- Palpitations or shakiness
- Multiple visits to doctors without a clear diagnosis
Types of Somatic Disorders:
- Somatic Symptom Disorder
- Illness Anxiety Disorder (Health Anxiety)
- Conversion Disorder (Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder)
- Body Dysmorphic Disorder
- Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Seizures (PNES)
Why Do These Disorders Occur?
- Emotional distress or unresolved trauma
- Chronic stress or anxiety
- Depression
- Personality traits (e.g., high sensitivity or fear of illness)
- Nervous system dysregulation
