WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Somatized Mental Disorders Test

weakness depression hypochondria neuronalization

This questionnaire is designed to screen for somatic symptom presentations that may be associated with underlying psychological distress. Somatized Mental Disorders provides a structured way to characterize physical complaints when a clear medical explanation is not evident. It was authored by Robert L. Spitzer and Michael B. First.

The measure contains 39 items and typically takes about 8 minutes to complete. Responses are intended to support initial clinical formulation and triage, including consideration of whether further mental health evaluation, additional medical assessment, or both may be indicated. Results from Somatized Mental Disorders should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview, medical findings, and relevant history rather than used as a stand-alone diagnosis.
