Somatic symptom disorder is a common presentation to health professionals with many patients experiencing significant disability and a history of trauma which complicates the therapeutic relationship.
Presented by MHPN, this live event will include a Q&A discussion with Associate Professor Louise Stone (GP), Professor Alex Holmes (psychiatrist) and Liz Muldoon (psychologist) in a session facilitated by GP Dr Konrad Kangru.
