The expert consensus on clinical diagnosis and treatment of bodily distress disorder
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases - Year 2024, Vol 50, Issue 2
Abstract
Bodily Distress Disorder (BDD) is a mental disorder characterized by the persistent presence of somatic symptoms. Patients experience profound suffering related to these bodily discomforts. However, the recognition, diagnosis, and treatment rates remain low. The Consensus Expert Group, organized by the Chinese Psychiatrist Association Working Group on Somatic Symptom Disorders formulates the expert consensus by extensive discussions after conducting a systematic review of relevant literature, summarizing both domestic and international publications. This consensus reviews the conceptual evolution, epidemiology, clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic status, as well as the prognosis of bodily distress disorder. Clear recommendations regarding the treatment of bodily distress disorder are provided, aiming to establish a basis for the standardized diagnosis and treatment of this condition for professionals in psychiatry and other related fields.
