AB Diagnostic  criteria  for  somatic  symptom  disorder  includes  one  or  more  symptoms  that  are  distressing  or  result  in  significant  disruption  of  daily  life,  such  as  excessive  thoughts,  feelings,  behaviors  related  to  the  somatic  symptoms  or  associated  health  concerns  as  manifested  by  at  least  one  of  the  following:  (1)  disproportionate  and  persistent  thoughts  about  the  seriousness  of  one's  symptoms;  (2)  persistently  high  level  of  anxiety  about  health  or  symptoms;  and  (3)  excessive  time  and  energy  devoted  to  these  symptoms  or  health  concerns.  Although  any  one  somatic  symptom  may  not  be  continuously  present,  the  state  of  being  symptomatic  is  persistent  (typically  more  than  6  months).  Specifiers  include  the  following:  With  predominant  pain  (previously  pain  disorder);  this  specifier  is  for  individuals  whose  somatic  symptoms  predominantly  involve  pain.  Persistent:  A  persistent  course  is  characterized  by  severe  symptoms,  marked  impairment,  and  long  duration  (more  than  6  months).  Current  severity  is  also  a  specifier:  Mild—Only  one  of  the  symptoms  specified  in  criterion  B  is  fulfilled.  Moderate—Two  or  more  of  the  symptoms  specified  in  Criterion  B  are  fulfilled.  Severe—Two  or  more  of  the  symptoms  in  Criterion  B  are  fulfilled,  plus  there  are  multiple  somatic  complaints  (or  one  very  severe  somatic  symptom)  (DSM-5).
