Concerning our physical health is good. An extreme focus on physical symptoms may, however, affect our mental health and eventually, turn into the Somatic Symptom Disorder.

The Patient Health Questionnaire-15 (PHQ-15) is a fifteen item questionnaire designed to identify person with somatic symptom disorder. This test consists of 15 somatic symptoms that comprises more than 90% of the physical problems reported, excluding upper respiratory symptoms. It helps identify the relationship between gradual increases in somatic symptom severity and various health outcomes.

Whilst it is mainly conducted with the help of medical professions, one can also monitor his or her condition with the aid of this test. PLEASE DO NOT USE IT FOR DIAGNOSIS WITHOUT CONSULTING YOUR DOCTORS.
