In addition to Dep., I have been Dxed with Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as ME). Certain med. groups and insurance companies have been trying to get Drs to Dx such patients as Somatoform Disorder (sorry for earlier misspelling).
Here's a link to an article on Somatoform Disorder. Notice how subjective the symptoms and treatments are.

Finally, my friend once had a Pdoc who said that her asthma was psychosomatic. He quit saying that after he developed asthma. :)
Thanks
