here in my location (new York) this article is now used as a good article for the Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders listings ...
Somatic Symptom Disorder
Illness Anxiety Disorder
Conversion Disorder (Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder)
Psychological Factors Affecting Other Medical Conditions
Factitious Disorder
Other Specified Somatic Symptom and Related Disorder
Unspecified Somatic Symptom and Related Disorder because the information in the article is about how dissociation shows itself in physical health problem ways.
the reason my location puts this article in with this grouping is because here in my location dissociation showing itself in physical ways is part of these mental disorders.
great article though, lots of medical information on how the brain works.
