People with a somatization disorder often have a number of somatic (bodily) symptoms that cause discomfort or can cause significant problems in daily life. The person suffering from a somatization disorder really suffers. Your discomfort is true, but medicine may find no cause for the causes of this discomfort. Thus, symptoms may or may not be associated with a medical condition. An example of this is Monica's situation, which presents many physical problems, but no doctor can find the causes of their problems.

Conversion disorder is a condition in which people report symptoms that have no physical explanation. This may include symptoms such as weakness, movement or sensation disorders, or blackouts. Conversion episodes are almost always triggered by a stressful event, emotional problem, or mental health disorder. An example of this is the situation of Stephen, who was suddenly blinded after his boss gave him several stressful deadlines.
