What Is Delusional Disorder?
7. Somatic
We will all fall ill at some point, but some people have more problems with their health than others. It is not nice falling ill and, in many cases, the patient will have a genuine reason to be concerned. Some people might develop serious concerns when there is nothing to be concerned about, however.
Somatic delusional disorder causes the patient to become convinced that there is something wrong with them, even when there is not. They can make regular appointments with doctors, and not believe the doctor when told that they are in good health. It will lead to the patient acquiring crippling medical debts in some cases.
