Somatic symptom and related disorder which is matched somatoform disorder in DSM-IV, is defined as a group of diseases that shows somatic symptoms with significant distress and impairment according to DSM-V. This is a very common disease in primary care, however, tends to be underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed because of its polymorphic symptomatic expressions. This review tried to help understanding somatic symptom and related disorder and its subcategorized diseases-somatic symptom disorder, illness anxiety disorder, factitious disorder and other specified and unspecified somatic symptom and related disorder.
The purpose of this study was to identify the relation of parenting stress, anger and somatization symptom in mothers. Data were collected from 104 mothers of infants 12 months to 7 years old and analyzed by the statistical package SPSS WIN 20.0. The mean score for parenting stress was 78.26, that of anger was 74.00 and that of somatization symptom was 8.09. The score for parent domain was the highest in parenting stress and that of anger-control was the highest in anger expression. And the score of the trait anger was higher than that of the state anger. The parent domain was significant correlated with state anger (r=.490, p<.001) and trait anger (r=.415, p<.001), parent-children domain was significant correlated with state anger (r=.418, p<.001), somatization symptom was significant correlated with parent domain (r=.454, p<.001) and state anger (r=.488, p<.001). Anger-in (t=4.864, p<.001) and parent domain in parenting stress (t=2.380, p=.019) were significant predictors explaining 35.7% in somatization symptom.
