Can you help me by further breaking down hypochondria using DSM-5 criteria. I'm trying to create 3 slides from this material.
Currently, hypochondriasis and have been replaced by two new concepts: somatic symptom disorder and illness anxiety disorder.
To meet the criteria for somatic symptom disorder, patients must have one or more chronic somatic symptoms which they are excessively reoccurring
And then with illness anxiety disorder, you could have heightened bodily sensations or have considerable distress.
