BACKGROUND: To determine the nosological and phenomenological overlap and boundaries between @entity4697 and @entity16251 , we compared the symptoms, disability, comorbidity, and medical care of primary care @entity1 with each diagnosis. METHODS: @entity1 with DSM-III-R @entity4697 were recruited by screening consecutive primary care clinic attenders and then administering a structured diagnostic interview for @entity4697 . @entity1 also completed self-report questionnaires, and their primary care physicians completed questionnaires about them. They were then compared with @entity1 with DSM-III-R @entity16251 from the same setting who had been studied previously. RESULTS: One thousand six hundred thirty-four @entity1 were screened; 135 (71.0% of the 190 eligible @entity1 ) completed the research battery; 100 met lifetime @entity4697 criteria. Twenty-five of these had comorbid @entity16251 . Those without comorbid @entity16251 (n = 75) were then compared with @entity1 with @entity16251 without comorbid @entity4697 (n = 51). @entity1 with @entity4697 were less hypochondriacal (P < .001), somatized less (P < .05), were less disabled (P < .001), were more satisfied with their medical care (P < .001), and were rated by their physicians as less help rejecting (P < .05) and less demanding (P < .01). @entity308 was more prevalent in the group with @entity4697 (66.7% vs 45.1%; P < .05), as were @entity913 (76.0% vs 37.3%; P < .001), but somatization disorder symptoms (P < .0001) and generalized @entity148 were less prevalent (74.5% vs 16.0%; P < .001) in @entity4697 than was @entity16251 . CONCLUSIONS: While @entity16251 and @entity4697 co-occur to some extent in a primary care population, the overlap is by no means complete. These @entity1 are phenomenologically and functionally differentiable and distinct and are viewed differently by their primary care physicians.
