  I used to think it was real Big elaborate stories in newspapers and magazines It's like a professional disinformation campaign run by ??? to convince ??? to ???. And it was absurd the whole time I guess But I'm still not convinced that anything is real here except growing evidence of an extremely compliant mass media

  Somatic Symptom Disorder, sometimes called Psychosomatic Disorder, is defined in the DSM V and does not mean the symptoms are "all in your head". It refers to patients with a compulsive-to-the-point-of-self-damaging focus on their condition, even if that condition is a diagnosed medical condition. In other words, it's not a blank check to ignore these people.

    To emphasize this, even if somatic symptoms are rooted in mental/emotional state, they’re still real and experienced as real.
