“…Children and adolescents with psychological disorders, such as anxiety and post-traumatic stress, may report somatic symptoms (Dhossche et al, 2001; Ginsburg et al, 2006; Hughes et al, 2008; Janssens et al, 2010; Terwogt et al, 2006). This is also true for individuals with depressive disorders (Bohman et al, 2010; Janssens et al, 2010; Terwogt et al, 2006; Williams et al, 2002). Familial issues that are associated with reports of somatic symptoms such as poor parent and child communication, parental rejection, hostility, unreasonable parent expectations, parental history of psychopathology and substance abuse may also be associated with increased stress and increased somatic symptoms (Bursch et al, 2008; Garralda, 2010; Riggs et al 2007).…”

Somatic symptoms are a common physical response to stress and illness in childhood. This study assessed 409, primarily African American (85.6 %), urban elementary school children to examine the association between: (1) somatic symptoms and potential external stressors (school and peer stress, family conflict, and community violence) and (2) parent and child agreement on children’s self-report of somatic symptoms. The odds of self-report of somatic complaints were significantly associated with family conflict, school and peer stress, and community violence exposure (OR = 1.26, 95 % CI: 1.05–1.50; OR = 1.18, 95 % CI 1.08–1.28; and OR = 1.02, 95 % CI: 1.00–1.05, respectively). Identifying the associations between social, family, and community based stress and somatic symptoms may improve the quality of life for children living in urban environments through early identification and treatment.

“…Many studies have investigated factors associated with suicide in MDD patients, such as psychiatric comorbidities,67 genetic factors,89 melancholic features of MDD,1011 biomarkers,12 and environmental factors 13. Although some studies suggested that somatic symptoms are related to suicide,1415 gender differences regarding somatic symptoms and suicide are still poorly understood in MDD patients.…”

ObjectiveAlthough somatic symptoms are common complaints of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), their associations with suicide are still unclear.MethodsA total of 811 MDD outpatients of aged between 18 to 64 years were enrolled nationwide in Korea with the suicidality module of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and the Depression and Somatic Symptom Scale (DSSS).ResultsOn stepwise regression analysis, current suicidality scores were most strongly associated with chest pain in men, and neck or shoulder pain in women. Severe chest pain was associated with higher current suicidality scores in men than in women, whereas severe neck or shoulder pain showed no significant differences between the genders. In conclusion, MDD patients of both sexes with suicidal ideation showed significantly more frequent and severe somatic symptoms than those without. Current suicidal risk was associated with chest pain in men, and neck or shoulder pain in women.ConclusionWe suggest that clinicians pay attention to patients' somatic symptoms in real world practice.

“…Some research suggest that the cognitive-affective and somatic symptoms of depression can have a differing impact on propensity for suicidal ideation (Bohman, Jansson, Van Knorring, Päären, & Olsson,2010). However, more such information is needed, particularly if it is to inform interventions.…”

Although research has shown positive associations among post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depressive symptoms, and suicidal ideation, the nature of these relations is unclear, especially in African American women. This study examined the associations among these comorbid psychological difficulties in a sample of 136 low-income, African American women. Specifically, the goal of this investigation was to ascertain if overall depressive symptoms, as well as both the cognitive-affective and somatic components of depression, mediated the PTSD-suicidal ideation link. Results from bootstrapping analyses revealed that overall depressive symptoms and the cognitive-affective components of depression, but not the somatic components, mediated the PTSD-suicidal ideation link.
