All are recommended treatment for somatic symptom disorder except
Correct answer
B
Rationale
The correct answer is B: Antipsychotics. Somatic symptom disorder is characterized by physical symptoms with no clear medical cause. Antipsychotics are not typically used to treat somatic symptom disorder as they are primarily used for psychotic disorders. Psychotherapy helps address underlying psychological issues, anti-anxiety medications can help manage anxiety symptoms, and antidepressants can improve mood and reduce symptoms. Therefore, antipsychotics are not recommended for somatic symptom disorder treatment.
