Somatic anxiety is the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as butterflies in the stomach. It is also known as somatization. It is commonly contrasted with cognitive anxiety, which is the mental manifestations of anxiety, or the specific thought processes that occur during anxiety, such as concern or worry. These different components of anxiety are especially studied in sports psychology, specifically relating to how anxiety symptoms affect athletic performance. “Symptoms typically associated with somatization of anxiety and other psychiatric disorders include abdominal pain, dyspepsia, chest pain, fatigue, dizziness, insomnia, and headache.” These symptoms can either happen alone or multiple can happen at once. Somatic anxiety is often pushed to the side and is not being treated as seriously as other forms of anxiety. Although not recognized, the most common way people express anxiety is through physical pain. This is including sayings like “butterflies in my stomach.” A lot of people someway relate their pain to the culture they were raised in. An example given by Charlotte Hanlon and Abebaw Fekeddu was that someone of sub-African descent might describe their somatic pain as burning or crawling sensations all over the body. Children with this disorder tend to decline tremendously in school. This disorder also has the effect to make the person want to stop attending social events and activities. Most of the time, a child is sent to see a regular physician but in some cases, a specialist is required. A common suggestion is to try to make the child attend social activities. Increasing evidence shows that adults with this disorder often experienced it during their childhood years. Some symptoms tend to be the same for adults struggling with social anxiety. Although commonly overlooked, a scientist is starting to study somatic anxiety more. Studies are actually starting to show that some medically overlooked cases that could not relate physical pain to any type of organ dysfunction typically could have been somatic anxiety.see more at WikipediaCheck More at https://track.healthtrader.com/track.php?c=cmlkPTgwNzQ2MSZhaWQ9NjIyNTgxODI
