Question:

What does somatization mean??


Answers:

The phenomenon of somatization, which results in unexplained physical complaints, is ubiquitous in primary care settings although it often goes unrecognized. Medical training emphasizes the identification and treatment of organic problems and may leave physicians unprepared to recognize and address somatoform complaints. As a process, somatization ranges from mild stress-related symptoms to severe debilitation. Patients at the low end of the spectrum often respond to simple reassurance, but patients who are more impaired require interventions specifically designed to avoid unnecessary exposure to dangerous, costly and frustrating diagnostic procedures and treatments. psychotherapy maybe a good answer for it
