Your Physical Illness May Now Be Labeled a Mental Illness

If you Think you are Physically Ill years before you get Proper Diagnosis, You can now be Labelled Mentally Ill with:

Somatic Symptom Disorder

A person will meet the criteria for SSD by reporting just one bodily symptom that is distressing and/or disruptive to daily life and having just one of the following three reactions to it that persist for at least six months: 1) 'disproportionate' thoughts about the seriousness of their symptom(s); or 2) a high level of anxiety about their health; or, 3) devoting excessive time and energy to symptoms or health concerns.
