Somatic Complaints

Somatic complaints refer to physical symptoms that individuals experience, such as pain, fatigue, or nausea, which cannot be fully explained by medical tests or conditions. These symptoms are real but often linked to psychological factors like stress, anxiety, or emotional distress rather than underlying physical illness. Recognizing somatic complaints is important for comprehensive care, as they may require both medical evaluation and psychological support to address the root causes and improve overall well-being.
