FYI: Somatization disorder, per the DSM-V, is no longer listed as a disorder. Now, several of the somatoform disorders are bundled together into a SSD diagnosis, or Somatic Symptom Disorder. Now, doctors may diagnose you with SSD if you have what the doctor considers to be an inordinate focus on a specific pain for at least six months. And, now, the pain can be either medically-proven or not medically-proven to have a physical origin. So, now, if you have a chronic pain and want the doctor to fix it, you'd best be able to get to the bottom of the matter within 6 months. If not, then not only will you have to live with the pain and, as the doctors tell me, take my losses, but you will also be rewarded with the SSD diagnosis.
