Article needs to make clear that ICD-11's Bodily distress disorder is differently conceptualised to the Fink et al (2007 2010) Bodily distress syndrome.

For ICD-11, most of ICD-10’s Somatoform disorders and Neurasthenia are being replaced by a single new category, Bodily distress disorder (BDD)¹. Although the terms “Bodily distress disorder” and “Bodily distress syndrome” (BDS) are often used synonymously, both the World Health Organization (WHO) and Professor Per Fink² have clarified that as defined for ICD-11, BDD is a conceptually different diagnosis. ICD-11's BDD and Fink’s BDS are differently characterized, have very different criteria and include different groups of patients.

For ICD-11, the BDD diagnosis requires both the presence of one or more distressing bodily symptoms, which can be either “medically unexplained” or caused by a general medical condition, and also “excessive, disproportionate or maladaptive” responses to the symptoms. BDD potentially captures a percentage of patients with CFS, ME³ or with other general medical conditions and diseases, if the clinician considers they also meet the criteria for an additional diagnosis of BDD. In contrast, Fink’s BDS diagnosis requires physical symptom patterns from one or more body systems, for these symptoms to be “medically unexplained” and does not require any emotional or behavioural responses. Crucially, BDS includes CFS, ME, IBS and FM under a single, unifying diagnosis.
