Somatic Symptom Disorders

SummaryFollowing a brief historic discourse, problems with the current use and concepts the of somatoform disorders are described. The rationale for substituting the term „somatoform“ with „somatic symptom“ in DSM5 is explained and the new classification criteria for the group of “somatic symptom related disorders” are described, which include severity ratings. A special aspect is that “Illness anxiety disorder” is introduced as a new diagnostic entity in DSM-5.

ZusammenfassungDer vorliegende Artikel beschreibt die aktuellen diagnostischen Entwicklungen im Bereich der Somatoformen Störung unter Zugrundelegung der aktuellen S3-Leitlinien für „Nichtspezifische funktionelle und somatoforme Körperbeschwerden“ und der historischen Entwicklung der Somatoformen Störungen (einschließlich der Hypochondrie). Neben einem Vergleich von ICD-10 mit DSM-IV-TR und DSM-5 werden die neuen Kriterien für Somatic Symptom Disorder und Illness Anxiety Disorder (vormals Hypochondrie) nach DSM-5 vorgestellt und diskutiert.

BackgroundIn DSM-5 two new diagnoses, somatic symptom disorder (SSD) and illness anxiety disorder (IAD), have replaced DSM-IV hypochondriasis. There are no previous treatment studies for these disorders. Cognitive–behavioural therapy (CBT) delivered as therapist-guided or unguided internet treatment or as unguided bibliotherapy could be used to increase treatment accessibility.AimsTo investigate the effect of CBT delivered as guided internet treatment (ICBT), unguided internet treatment (U-ICBT) and as unguided bibliotherapy.MethodA randomised controlled trial (RCT) where participants (n= 132) with a diagnosis of SSD or IAD were randomised to ICBT, U-ICBT, bibliotherapy or to a control condition on a waiting list (trial registration: Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT01966705).ResultsCompared with the control condition, all three treatment groups made large and significant improvements on the primary outcome Health Anxiety Inventory (between-groupdat post-treatment was 0.80–1.27).ConclusionsICBT, U-ICBT and bibliotherapy can be highly effective in the treatment of SSD and IAD. This is the first study showing that these new DSM-5 disorders can be effectively treated.

Somatic Symptom Disorders

Somatic symptom disorders are characterized by the presentation of somatic complaints (somatization), often, but not necessarily, in the absence of a medical explanation of these sensations. The level of concern is generally disproportionate in relation to the severity of the somatic illness. Behaviourally, somatic symptom disorder entails signals that call for help and attention from others. Evolutionary considerations of why people present with somatic symptoms in the absence of a medical cause suggest that this behaviour could reflect a strategy to manipulate others in order to evoke care. Signals that aim at eliciting care from others are more persuasive if the ‘real’ intention is hidden from conscious awareness. Thus, self-deception may be involved in the presentation of somatic symptoms. Within the spectrum of somatic symptom and related disorders, the degree of self-deception may vary from high, as in illness anxiety disorder, to relatively low, as in factitious disorder.
