A disorder characterized by persistent or recurrent symptoms other than pain that are mediated by the autonomic nervous system and not a part of a general medical condition. Symptoms may involve various systems or organs including palpitations (cardiovascular), hyperventilation (respiratory), vomiting (gastrointestinal), urinary frequency (urogenital), or flushing (dermal). In earlier classifications (DSM-I, DSM-II, and DSM-III), such symptoms were considered conversion symptoms, psychosomatic symptoms, or psychophysiological disorders.
