The theory of unpleasant symptoms has three related components: the symptoms experienced by the individual, factors that affect the nature of the symptom experience, and the consequences of the symptom experience (Lenz, Pugh, Milligan, Gift, & Suppe, 1997). Symptoms can be measured individually or in combination with other symptoms, and they can often be characterized by intensity, duration and frequency, level of distress, and quality. Physiological factors, psychological factors, and situational factors each relate to each other and can influence the symptom experience (Lenz, Pugh, Milligan, Gift, & Suppe, 1997). Physiological factors include normal functioning of body systems, whereas psychological factors include the mental state and knowledge of symptoms. Situational factors are compromised of the social and environmental aspects that may affect the patient’s experience.

Intellectual threshold of the individual consumer is the first aspect that should be investigated. Not every individual has medical training or even basic medical knowledge. Major pitfalls could await the wary consumer when trying to find the right provider for their specific needs. More research, on the part of the consumer, will need to be done in order to determine the treatment options. Evaluation of the benefits and shortfalls for each option and factoring in the cost (Maxwell J. Mehlman, 2006), will become the new burden of the

I would want to take the least intrusive route as possible; such as behavioral or cognitive therapy. According to Kristeen Cherney, in behavuoral/cognitive therapy the therapists create treatment plans specifically tailored to individual conditions. Some exercises may include:discussions about coping mechanisms, role playing, breathing and relaxation methods, positive reinforcement, activities to promote focus,journal writing,social skills training,and modifications in responses to anger, fear, and pain(Cherney, Kristeen.
