Pain disorder - Somatoform pain disorder
Pain disorder is persistent and chronic pain at one or more sites in which psychological factors are thought to play a role. In pain disorder, the suffering is so severe that it impairs a person's ability to function. Unfortunately, pain that is "psychological" in nature is often stigmatized both by medical professionals and the general public.
