Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collins is experiencing chronic physical symptoms without any known physical cause, which is a key feature of somatic symptom disorder. While conversion disorder and somatoform pain disorder may be considered, the fact that Collins reports multiple symptoms that are not limited to pain suggest that somatic symptom disorder is the most appropriate diagnosis. Hypochondriasis is an outdated term that is no longer used in the DSM-5, which is the current system used for diagnosing mental disorders.
