The somatoform disorders are a group of psychiatric disorders that cause unexplained physical symptoms. In DSM-5, somatoform disorders are recognized under the term somatic symptom and related disorders, which include: somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder, conversion disorder, factitious disorder, psychological factors affecting other medical conditions, other specified somatic symptom and related disorder and unspecified somatic symptom and related disorder. These disorders are consistently under diagnosed and under-recognized which precludes effective treatment.
