SUNBURN PROGNOSIS |
|
|
|
The prognosis for somatoform disorders
depends, as a rule, on the patient's age and whether the disorder is
chronic or episodic. In general, somatization disorder and body
dysmorphic disorder rarely resolve completely. Hypochondriasis and
pain disorder may resolve if there are significant improvements in
the patient's overall health and life circumstances, and people with
both disorders may go through periods when symptoms become less
severe (remissions) or become worse (exacerbations). Conversion
disorder tends to be rapidly resolved, but may recur in about 25% of
all cases. |
