Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) is a mental health condition characterized by an intense focus on physical symptoms that cause significant distress or impairment. Individuals with SSD may experience a variety of bodily sensations, such as pain or fatigue, that are not fully explained by a medical condition. This preoccupation with symptoms can lead to excessive thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to the symptoms, often resulting in anxiety and functional impairment. The disorder emphasizes the interaction between the mind and body, highlighting how psychological factors can influence physical health and well-being.

Conversion Disorder, also known as Functional Neurological Disorder, is a condition in which individuals experience neurological symptoms that cannot be attributed to a medical or neurological condition. Symptoms may include weakness, paralysis, abnormal gait, or non-epileptic seizures, and they often arise in response to psychological stress or trauma. The key feature of Conversion Disorder is that the symptoms are real to the patient but do not have a clear organic basis, and they can significantly impair daily functioning. Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, addressing both the physical symptoms and the underlying psychological issues.
