Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Somatic symptom disorder involves excessive concern and attention towards physical symptoms, leading to impairment in functioning. This excessive focus can lead to sensory misperception and overattending to minor body changes, thus fueling the disorder. The other options such as erratic breathing or delusions of stroke/heart attack may occur as part of the disorder, but they are not considered problem areas in causation. Option D may be a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which can co-occur with somatic symptom disorder but is not an inherent problem area in its causation.
