pain disorder

pain disorder
[DSM-IV] a somatoform disorder characterized by a chief complaint of severe chronic pain that causes substantial distress or impairment in functioning; the pain is neither feigned nor intentionally produced, and psychological factors appear to play a major role in its onset, severity, exacerbation, or maintenance. It is subdivided into pain d. associated with psychological factors and pain d. associated with both psychological factors and a general medical condition. A third subtype, pain d. associated with a general medical condition, is not considered a mental disorder.
