Consider this:
Here is a nice little acronym from medschool...
Somatisation Disorder Besets Ladies And Vexes Physicians. (SDBLAVP)
- Shortness of breath
- Dysmenorrhoea
- Burning in sex organs
- Lump in throat
- Amnesia
- Vomiting
- Painful extremitiesMost common treatments?
- SSRI/SNRI
- TCA
- MAOINot to deny any claim that the big pharmaceutical companies are not over-marketing these sparsely effective drugs. Yet, the doctors decision to prescribe an antidepressant may have been on the right track... Hope this doesn't offend anyone!
