What Is Somatic Symptom Disorder?
10. Treatment
There is no known cure for somatic symptom disorder. However, treatment is available that will considerably improve the patient’s quality of life in some cases. This will sometimes involve medication that can help ease the symptoms of any other mental health conditions the patient might be suffering from.
Therapy is another important part of treatment. Therapy intends to give the patient the tools that they need to be able to handle the condition better. It helps them to recognize and understand their condition better, and how to act in ways that help ensure the condition has less of an impact on their life.
