Abstract

Current research lacks in synthesis of psychological and biological approaches when studying the mechanism of somatic symptom disorder (SSD), which impedes the development of effective treatment intervention. Primarily due to the conflicting perspectives of the two fields. This paper derived a model that combines both psychological and biological factors by analyzing literature about factors causing development of SSD. Three neurological symptoms of SSD were analyzed in this paper (headache, dizziness, and weakness) using 19 pieces of studies. The result shows that the development of SSD follows the path of external stimuli – physiological change – cognitive processing – response – recurrence. Based on the result, a psychobiological model of SSD development is established. It will help to find a more precise target for SSD treatment.
