Somatic symptoms after a natural disaster: a prospective study
JI Escobar, G Canino, M Rubio-Stipec and M Bravo
Department of Psychiatry, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington.
The authors prospectively examined the prevalence of somatization symptoms
among community respondents after a natural disaster in Puerto Rico.
Exposure to the disaster was related to a higher prevalence of medically
unexplained physical symptoms, particularly gastrointestinal ones
(abdominal pain, vomiting, nausea, excessive gas) and pseudoneurological
ones (amnesia, paralysis, fainting, unusual spells/double vision).
