Aim

To find the prevalence of different Somatoform Disorders (SDs) in psychiatric consultations to inpatients and outpatients of Farabi General Hospital(Kermanshah-Iran) in 10 years (from 1994 to 2004) and to define their demographic variables.

Methods

Any patient, who received an SD diagnosis by the consultants, was further assessed, using a two-phase design, for DSM-IV SD criteria.

Results

A total of 801 patients fulfilled diagnostic criteria for a DSM-IV SD. Among these 493(61.5%) had Conversion Disorder, 127(15.9%) Somatization Disorder, 117(14.6%) Hypochondriasis, 41(5.1%) a Body Dysmorphic Disorder and 23(2.9%) a Pain Disorder).Most of the patients were young, female, married and not educated more than primary school.

Conclusion

Somatoform Disorders are common in psychiatric consultations of General Hospitals. Internists, surgeons and other specialists need to be aware of these disorders.
