Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Fifty psychiatric inpatients at a VA Hospital felt to be at high risk for the development of somatic complaints were surveyed for Briquet's syndrome. When criteria for the syndrome were strictly applied, no men were found with the disorder. If the criteria were minimally relaxed, two patients did have a sufficient number of symptoms in multiple areas to qualify for the diagnosis. However, they had alternative clinical and research diagnoses and none of the personality characteristics noted in previous populations of women surveyed for Briquet's syndrome. |
