What Is Somatization Disorder?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
10. Treatment
Conditions like somatization can be incredibly difficult to treat because it is so difficult to know just what the problem even is. While the condition cannot be cured, however, it can still at least be managed in many cases. Treatment won’t necessarily make the symptoms disappear, but it can at least help the patient to live as normal a life as possible.
Medication will often not be helpful, but it can be prescribed in some cases according to what the specific symptom problem is. Therapy sessions will usually be requested to help give the patient the tools that they need to be able to manage their condition.
