Somatization disorder
Somatization disorder
(also
Briquet's syndrome
) is a
mental disorder
characterized by recurring, multiple, and current, clinically significant complaints about
somatic
symptoms. It was recognized in the
DSM-IV-TR
classification system, but in the latest version
DSM-5
, it was combined with
undifferentiated somatoform disorder
to become
somatic symptom disorder
, a diagnosis which no longer requires a specific number of somatic symptoms.
ICD-10
, the latest version of the
International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems
, still includes somatization syndrome.
