07-SEPTEMBER-2008 03:17:44 - Somatoform disorder Redirected from Somatoform Somatoform disorder Classification and external resources ICD-10 F45. ICD-9 300.8 DiseasesDB 1645 eMedicine med/3527 MeSH D013001 Somatoform disorder also known as Briquet's syndrome is characterized by physical symptoms that mimic disease or injury for which there is no identifiable physical cause1 or physical symptoms such as pain, nausea, depression, and dizziness. Somatoform disorders are physical symptoms which present as part of a general medical condition. However, no general medical condition, other mental disorder, or substance is adequately diagnosed. The complaints are serious enough to cause significant emotional distress and impairment of social and/or occupational functioning. An inadequate diagnosis might be the result of inconclusive or faulty test results or in some cases intentional malpractice in which a caregiver deliberately mishandles a patient's health care to derive some benefits. A diagnosis of a somatoform disorder implies that psychological factors are a large contributor to the symptoms' onset, severity and duration. It is important to note that somatoform disorders are not the result of conscious malingering or factitious disorders.
