Trauma, such as physical or sexual abuse, can be a major factor in the development of discomfort disturbance. Physical illness can also contribute, as can environmental factors, such as living in poverty. Additionally, some people may be genetically predisposed to developing discomfort disturbance.

Additionally, people with certain life stressors, such as a major life event or medical diagnosis, may be at higher risk.

Treatment

Psychotherapy can help individuals understand their feelings and learn to cope with them in a healthy way. Medication can help alleviate some of the symptoms, while lifestyle changes can help reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing.
