Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The common aspect of all somatic symptom disorders is the excessive or maladaptive responses to physical symptoms or to associated health concerns. This means that individuals with these disorders experience an extreme level of distress or disruption in their daily lives as a result of physical symptoms or health concerns, to the point that it interferes with their ability to function normally. Irrational beliefs or judgments about supernatural influences or physical attractiveness are not necessarily a part of somatic symptom disorders. Additionally, somatic symptom disorders can include excessive or maladaptive responses to a range of physical symptoms, not just pain.
