Cenesthopathy

Cenesthopathy (from French: cénestopathie,[1] formed from the Ancient Greek κοινός (koinós) „common“, αἴσθησῐς (aísthēsis) „feeling“, „perception“ + πᾰ́θος (páthos) „feeling, suffering, condition“), also known as coenesthesiopathy,[2] is a rare psychiatric term used to refer to the feeling of being ill and this feeling is not localized to one region of the body.[3] Most notably, cenesthopathies are characterized by aberrant and strange bodily sensations (for example, a feeling of wires or coils being present within the oral region; tightening, burning, pressure, tickling etc. occurring in various parts of the body, and so on).[4]

Cenesthopathic schizophrenia

The established occurrence of coenesthetic hallucinations in 18 % of individuals with a psychiatric diagnosis of schizophrenia has led to the formulation of a separate subgroup of schizophrenia in the ICD-10, called cenesthopathic schizophrenia.[2] Cenesthopathic schizophrenia is included (but not defined) within the category "other schizophrenia" (F20.8) in the 10th revision of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems.[6][7]

History

Cenesthopathy (originally French: cénestopathie) is a term created in 1907 by the French neuro-psychiatrists Ernest Ferdinand Pierre Louis Dupré and Paul Camus.[1][8][9]
