What is somatization pattern ?
Most individuals experience somatization sooner or later in their lives. Throwing up from anxiety, having a headache because of stress, or feeling physically weak after trauma are all examples of somatization. Yet, these instances are typically situational and temporary. Somatization turns into a clinical issue when it causes delayed and severe distress.
An individual may interpret their symptoms as a real sickness and see a physician. However, the doctor will rarely find a physical explanation for the individual's symptoms. Assuming they really do find a physical problem, the symptoms will probably be unrelated to or messed up with regards to the individual's condition. (For example, somebody who broke their ankle in a sporting event may report breathing issues.)
Somatic symptoms are not fake or imaginary. Individuals experiencing somatization are not pretending to be debilitated for personal gain either-that is called malingering. Somatic symptoms may not have an observable cause, yet the pain and distress are real. Individuals with this issue merit as much compassion as those with a physical diagnosis.
