Somatic Symptom and Related Disorders CPS Podcast
Friday, 7 August, 2026
This podcast discusses somatic symptom and related disorders (SSRDs) in children, including the definition of somatization and the five disorders classified under SSRDs. It reviews the epidemiology and clinical presentation of these conditions, outlines when further testing and investigations are appropriate, and presents evidence-based approaches to management. The episode also explores practical strategies for approaching clinical encounters with patients experiencing SSRDs. This podcast was created by Sarah Clements, a second-year medical student at McMaster University, and Dr. Christina Grant, an adolescent medicine specialist in the Division of Adolescent Medicine at McMaster Children's Hospital. There are no conflicts of interest to disclose by the authors.
