Dr. Pamela Pappas answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Collaborative care: People with somatization disorders need care from a solid, patient primary care physician who will listen to their complaints, check for general medical issues, but not expose to unecessary testing. Also they need a caring psychiatrist who can help with anxiety & depression. A psychotherapist can also help them by working with certain emotional and cognitive skills. Teamwork for best result.
