摘要
Somatic symptoms may be classified as either 'medically explained' or 'medically unexplained' the former being considered medical and the latter psychiatric. In healthcare systems focused on disease, this distinction has pragmatic value. However, new scientific evidence and psychiatric classification urge a more integrated approach with important implications for psychiatry.
