Child describing his abdominal pain as an achy feeling


Problem: An 8-year-old boy with no significant past medical history is brought in for evaluation by his father, who expresses concern because his son frequently complains of stomachaches, especially when going to school. He has missed several school days this month due to stomachaches, which usually resolve when he is brought home. His father also says his son often begins to cry when going to school and asks, "What if I get kidnapped?" The child reports frequent nightmares about being kidnapped. There is no family history of a mental health disorder. When asked during the examination, the child describes his abdominal pain as an "achy feeling" with no localization. The physical examination findings are unremarkable. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), what minimum duration of symptoms is required to make the most likely diagnosis? A. 2 weeks B. 4 weeks C. 3 months D. 6 months. Need Assignment Help?
