Somatic Symptom Disorder in MVA Claims: A Neuro-Psychological and Legal Review

Somatic Symptom Disorder (SSD) is a complex condition where individuals experience significant physical symptoms that cannot be fully explained by a medical diagnosis, often leading to distress and disruption in daily life. This webinar will provide an in-depth discussion on key aspects of SSD, including its clinical presentation, challenges in diagnosis and treatment, the role of (neuro)psychological assessment, and considerations for assessment and diagnosis in legal contexts. We will also explore the psychological factors influencing causality and prognosis. 

Additionally, a Case Law Review will examine recent legal decisions on SSD in motor vehicle accident claims, providing valuable insights into how courts are addressing this condition in personal injury litigation.
