Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Factitious disorders and conversion disorder are classified under "somatic symptom and related disorders" in the DSM-5. This category includes disorders that manifest with physical symptoms suggesting illness or injury, but which cannot be fully explained by a general medical condition, direct effects of a substance, or another mental disorder. Factitious disorders involve falsifying illness or injury for the purpose of assuming the sick role, while conversion disorder involves neurological symptoms incompatible with medical conditions, both fitting within the somatic symptom framework.
