What Is Somatoform Disorder?
I just realized after reading about somatoform disorder that I have this disorder. Currently I am taking antidepressant and anxiety pills, and am about to take an additional antidepressant pill prescribed yesterday. Do I need to continue with this additional antidepressant when I already know that I have a different disorder?
It is not just depression, but a somatic symptom disorder. Or Is it risky not to take it until I meet my doctor next week?

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
It is good to see, you know about your disorder, but it would be better if you take medicine as you are taking. In somatoform disorder, patient needs longer treatment and i would not advise you to leave treatment or any medicine without doctor consultation.
Thanks
