Thanks for the clarification!
It's that middle one that I have trouble with. I probably have enough vague physical complaints to qualify, but I still think not enough attention is paid to the fact that "brain" chemicals affect more than the brain. It shouldn't be surprising that there are clusters of symptoms related to serotonin regulation dysfunction, from anxiety and depression to intestinal disturbances to migraines, that are often written off as "somatization disorder" when they could have a purely physical basis.
