Abstract
There is a wide debate among the researchers and clinicians over the diagnostic categories subsumed under the rubric of somatoform disorders (SDs). Recent proposals vary from radical views that call for removing this category altogether to the conservative views that suggests cosmetic changes in the diagnostic criteria of SDs. We have the reviewed the relevant literature through PUBMED search supplemented with manual search on current concepts of SD.

The symptoms have taken many names over the years. Clinicians and researchers have proposed a wide range of theories for their etiology, diagnosis or treatment. However, reaching a consensus has been almost an impossible proposition. Their ideas and concepts have been just as varied as the unexplained symptoms themselves. So, controversy regarding their diagnosis has been a rule rather than exception. Therefore, we reviewed the existing literature through PUBMED search supplemented with manual search on current concepts of SD.</p><sec id="sec1-1"><title>DIAGNOSIS AND ITS EVOLUTION OVER THE YEARS</title><sec id="sec2-1"><title>Historical Antecedents to modern classification</title><p>It was Briquet who first studied a syndrome characterized by multiple somatic symptoms and named it ‘<italic>hysteria</italic>’, Stekel defined it as a bodily disorder arising as the expression of a deep-seated neurosis.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref1">1</xref>] Lipowski's definition: “The tendency to experience, conceptualize, and/or communicate psychological states or contents as bodily sensations, functional changes or somatic metaphors” was even more lucid.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref2">2</xref>] However, this definition was questioned for its emphasis over ‘<italic>psychological distress</italic>’ rather than the ‘<italic>somatic distress</italic>’ which is primarily experienced and communicated by these patients.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>] So this was later revised to: “<italic>A tendency to experience and communicate somatic distress and symptoms unaccounted for by pathological findings, to attribute them to physical illness and to seek medical help for them</italic>.”[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>] This revised definition is considered the basic framework on which the concept of hysteria has evolved over the years.</p><p>The evolution of nosology of hypochondriasis was through a different process. Sydenham in 17<sup>th</sup> century described it as a ‘<italic>disturbance and inconsistency of both mind and body</italic>’ and as the male counterpart of hysteria.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref3">3</xref>] Through the 18<sup>th</sup> century, hypochondriasis was considered a part of a ‘fashionable disturbance’ that Cheyne attributed to the ‘English way’ of life and environment till Falret in 1822, identified it as a mental disorder. Subsequently Gillespie, in 1928 defined it as: “A mental preoccupation with a real or supposititious physical or mental disorder”; a definition which passed the test of time.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref4">4</xref>]</p><p>Conversion disorder has its roots in the classical psychoanalysis school. Breuer and Freud proposed that mental distress might be <italic>converted</italic> into physical dysfunction symbolic of that distress. Subsequently the term “conversion” symptoms emerged essentially denoting those functional neurological disturbances.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref5">5</xref>] In their initial observation both Charcot and Janet acknowledged involvement of body and mind in hysteria. However, Janet later emphasized that conversion was solely mental in origin, thereby dismissing the role of physical lesion hypothesized by Charcot.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref6">6</xref>] Freud's views have been reflected in International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-10 as well as in Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)-IV both underscoring the role of unconscious motives and emotional conflict in generating hysteria, with a split in mental processes between the symptom and the underlying conflict.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref7">7</xref>]</p><p>Morselli, more than a century ago, first described body dysmorphic disorder (BDD).[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref>] Janet's description of a young woman who for 5 years confined herself in her apartment, worrying that she would never be loved for being ‘ugly and ridiculous’, was the next instance in psychiatric literature. It was initially classified as the atypical SD dysmorphophobia in DSM-III before the current name came up in the next edition.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref8">8</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref9">9</xref>]</p><p>The concept of neurasthenia was defined by the neurologist Beard in 1869 who described it as “a disease of nervous system, without organic lesion, which may attack any or all parts of the nervous system, and characterized by enfeeblement of the nervous force, which may have all degrees of severity”.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref10">10</xref>] Its first appearance in DSM-II resulted from the attempt to increase congruency with ICD-8.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref11">11</xref><xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref12">12</xref>] However the western world saw its declining relevance and it was finally dropped out from DSM-III; though ICD has been retaining it till date, as a subtype of neurosis.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref13">13</xref>]</p></sec><sec id="sec2-2"><title>Modern classificatory system</title><p>DSM-III derived the concept of somatization disorder from the criteria for ‘Briquet's syndrome’, as described and operationalized by Perley and Guze.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref14">14</xref>] Divided among 10 groups a total of 59 physical as well as psychological symptoms were enlisted among which 25 symptoms from nine groups were required to qualify for the diagnosis of somatization disorder. Later in an attempt to avoid overlapping with other diagnoses, all psychological symptoms were eliminated in the DSM-III modification.[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="ref15">15</xref>] This change which essentially delineated the psychological dimension from the physical had drawn criticism.

Current controversy regarding the diagnosis of SD in the upcoming DSM-V and ICD-11 is between a radicalist and a conservative approach. Accordingly, from total abolishment of the category to lowering of threshold for inclusion of less severe but more common versions with necessary regroupings of subcategories, there have been a wide range of recommendations. A review is warranted in the organization, terminology, and criteria of the SD in both DSM-IV and ICD-10. However, one must remember that our primary goal is to improve care for patients with somatic symptoms in clinical settings in different levels of health care. In a country like India where prejudices and superstitions often preclude proper consultation with the right person at the right time, it seems that the major changes required are in the health care delivery systems and in the attitudes of health care providers, well ahead of any change in nosology.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="supported-by"><p><bold>Source of Support:</bold> Nil</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p><bold>Conflict of Interest:</bold> None declared</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><title>REFERENCES</title><ref id="ref1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>De Gucht</surname><given-names>V</given-names></name><name><surname>Fischler</surname><given-names>B</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Somatization: A critical review of conceptual and methodological issues</article-title><source>Psychosomatics</source><year>2002</year><volume>43</volume><fpage>1</fpage><lpage>9</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">11927751</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Lipowski</surname><given-names>ZJ</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Review of consultation psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine. 3.
