DOI: 10.1007/s00296-025-05850-2
Abstract: Invalidation, both discounting (overt negative social responses) and lack of understanding (absence of positive social responses), is a common problem in fibromyalgia. The ‘Fibromyalgia Imbalance of Threat and Soothing Systems’ (FITSS) model indicates that different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.psym.2020.01.012
Abstract: BACKGROUND Somatic symptom disorder (SSD) is characterized by a persistent and distressing psychological reaction to somatic symptoms. In pain disorders, the preoccupation with physical symptoms is associated with poor long-term outcomes. SSD may therefore be of… read more here.
