Abstract

Functional somatic syndromes are very frequent disorders in the frontier between the Internal Medicine and Psychiatry. Although, they are not severe disorders, they are associated with significant distress and excessive expenditure in the medical health system. Prevalence of these conditions is high, but they are still a cause of controversy and debate in relation to diagnosis and treatment.
