Go To Main Page Alternate Names : Briquet's Syndrome Definition Somatization disorder is a chronic condition in which there are numerous physical complaints lasting for years and resulting in substantial impairment that are caused by psychological problems. The disorder is marked by multiple physical complaints that persist for years involving any body system. Most frequently, the complaints involve chronic pain and problems with the digestive system, the nervous system, and the reproductive system. The disorder usually begins before the age of 30 and occurs more often in females. Somatization disorder is highly stigmatizated and patients are often dismissed by their physicians as having problems that are "all in your head." However, as researchers study the connections between the brain, the digestive system, and the immune system, these disorders are becoming better understood and should not be seen as "faked" conditions which the patient could end if he or she chose to do so.

On the Misdiagnosis of Somatization Disorder in Gulf War Veterans and the Relevance of Related Terms 14 February 1996, updated 13 June 1997 for presentation to the VA Persian Gulf Expert Scientific Committee Many Gulf War veterans with otherwise "unexplained" illness are being given the psychiatric diagnosis of SOMATIZATION disorder by physicians at the Departments of Defense (DoD) and Veterans' Affairs (VA). According to Stedman's Medical Dictionary, this means the "the conversion of anxiety into physical symptoms." In practice, the diagnosis is commonly given to patients who report a variety of subjective symptoms for which no physical signs or other evidence can be found. The VA and DoD physicians who are diagnosing SOMATIZATION disorder in so many previously SOMATOTONIC Gulf War veterans ("a personality type characterized by vigorous activity and assertiveness") clearly don't know much about

A Story Of Doctor's Ignorance In 1990, I was diagnosed with EBV, or what is now called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Three different doctor's went as far as pronouncing that I had AID'S, that's how server my symptoms were. Fortunately after a year of repeated testing and a HIV by PCR was done, all test came out negative, so I didn't have AID'S, but I did have a extremely high EBV titer at the time. (but that's before they found that the EBV titers were unreliable, because it fluctuates from high to low regardless of how you feel.) In 1991 I have seen several many various Good BY : MARK NORWOOD (6/5/98) GO TO PAGE 20 (CLICK)

39. TLE Or Somatization Disorder Subject TLE or somatization disorder Topic Area Epilepsy Forum The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By Jackie on Tuesday, May 19, 1998 http://www.medhelp.org/forums/neuro/archive/5305.html

Questions in The Neurology Forum are being answered by doctors from The Cleveland Clinic , consistently ranked one of the best hospitals in America. Subject: TLE or Somatization Disorder Topic Area: Epilepsy Forum: The Neurology and Neurosurgery Forum Question Posted By: Jackie on Tuesday, May 19, 1998 I would like to know how a neurologist would differentiate temporal lobe epilepsy from somatization disorder. I have a lesion in the right temporal lobe and mildly abnormal EEGs evidencing "sharp"waves with some bilateral dysfunction. The only type of seizure I have had is periods of amnesia when on certain medications, anti-depressants and anti-psychotics. I have read about "Pure Amnesic Syndrome" and it sounds like what happens to me. Recently I started taking Dexatrim to lose weight and had another blackout. I had been told by neurologists in the past that I had a lower seizure threshold. Would OTCs such as Dexatrim cause a ?seizure? Or would this be characteristic of "disassociative amnesia" the DSM -IV lists under Somatization Disorder. If a person has somatization disorder, where neurologic complaints, including amnesia are listed in the diagnostic criteria, would abnormal EEGs be expected or is this an actual physical problem?

Can you tell me more about treatment techniques and theories behind somatization disorder? A. Somatization disordersometimes called Briquet's syndromeis one of the somatoform disorders, which also include conversion disorder, pain disorder, hypochondriasis and body dysmorphic disorder. The SDs have in common this feature: the patient presents with some physical complaint, sign or symptom that cannot be explained by any known medical/neurological illness. All the SDs are thought to be related to some psychological precipitant or factor, such as recent trauma or learned behavior, and are not a form of malingering (i.e., the patient is not faking or intentionally producing the symptom). Treatment of these disorders is difficult and sometimes frustrating. The details of treatment would take an entire chapterbut essentially involve forms of behavior modification and sometimes the use of antidepressant medication (many of these SD patients are also depressed and some consider SDs to be an atypical presentation of depression). The basic goal is to reinforce appropriate, nondependent behaviors and to discourage inappropriate, dependent behaviors. Sometimes, uncovering or psychoanalytic therapy may be helpful.
