Misdiagnosis
In the opinion of Allen Frances, chair of the DSM-IV task force, the DSM-5s somatic symptom disorder brings with it a risk of mislabeling a sizable proportion of the population as mentally ill. Millions of people could be mislabeled, with the burden falling disproportionately on women, because they are more likely to be casually dismissed as catastrophizers when presenting with physical symptoms.

Prognosis is poor. Minimal inflammation helps distinguish sclerema neonaturum from subcutaneous fat necrosis of the newborn. See also
