Somatic symptom disorder is diagnosed when a person becomes extremely focused on physical symptoms like pain, fatigue, or weakness – often without a clear medical cause. This intense focus on physical symptoms can cause major distress and interfere with a person’s ability to function normally. Explore the mind/body connection and how psychological factors can contribute to real physical symptoms in this one-hour seminar sponsored by United Way of Central Iowa.
