[edit]Somatization is a tendency to experience and communicate psychological distress as bodily and organic symptoms and to seek medical help for them.[1][2] More commonly expressed, it is the generation of physical symptoms of a psychiatric condition such as anxiety. The term somatization was introduced by Wilhelm Stekel in 1924.[3]
Somatization is a worldwide phenomenon.[4] A somatization spectrum can be identified, with extreme cases being classified as somatization disorder.[clarification needed][5] 2601:98D:C201:B550:7112:155F:2637:6AE5 (talk) 02:29, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
