躯体化是临床医学中的一个重要问题。与相对罕见的躯体化障碍不同，简化躯体化，一种不太严重的躯体化形式，在初级保健诊所普遍存在。作者检查了诊断为抑郁症或焦虑症合并躯体化症状的患者的临床状态和功能，并将其与单独诊断为抑郁症或焦虑症的患者进行了比较。作者检查了与诊断状态相关的身体功能和精神病理学的严重程度。被诊断为躯体化症状和抑郁或焦虑障碍的患者比被诊断为抑郁或焦虑障碍的患者身体受损更严重，焦虑更严重。结果表明，删节的躯体化往往与抑郁和焦虑共存，从而使这些疾病的表现复杂化。
Somatization is a significant problem for clinical medicine. Unlike somatization disorder which is relatively rare, abridged somatization, a less severe form of somatization, is prevalent in primary care clinics. The authors examined the clinical status and functioning of patients diagnosed with a depression or anxiety disorder comorbid with abridged somatization and compared them with patients diagnosed with a depression or anxiety disorder alone. The authors examined severity of physical functioning and psychopathology in relation to diagnostic status. Patients diagnosed with both abridged somatization and a depression or anxiety disorder were more physically impaired and more anxious than those diagnosed with a depression or anxiety disorder alone. The results suggest that abridged somatization frequently coexists with depression and anxiety and thus complicates the presentation of these disorders.
