Sebastian, a high school senior, has been in and out of hospital over the past three
years due to severe headaches, chest and back pains, and double vision. Sebastian
also experiences severe stomachaches and nausea, and vomits several days a week.
Sebastian stopped dating after his freshman year of high school because he was
embarrassed by his symptoms, and because his constant discomfort had reduced his
sexual interest in girls. Sebastian thought that these symptoms were a result of a
football injury that happened during his freshmen year, but the symptoms have
continued and worsened even after he quit the team. Doctors have thoroughly
examined Sebastian and cannot find a physical cause for his many physical
symptoms. Thus, Sebastian may have:
a. Somatization disorder
b. Conversion disorder
c. Factitious disorder by proxy
d. Enuresis
e. Encopresis
