No references found | Somatoform disorders are relatively common in Europe, with a 12 month prevalence of about 6. Research, teaching, and practicing psychiatrists explore such topics as the epidemiology of the association between somatoform disorders and anxiety and depressive disorders, cultural models and somatic syndromes, whether somatoform disorders are changing with time, the stability of symptoms, evidence for the efficacy of treatment, and whether treatments for common mental disorders are also effective for functional symptoms and disorders.
