BMC’s Yawkey building doors are now closed as an entrance as part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our campus and provide you with the best clinical care.

All patients and visitors on our main campus must enter our hospital via Shapiro, Menino, or Moakley buildings, where they will be greeted by team members at a new centralized check-in desk before continuing to the hospital. We are excited to welcome you and appreciate your patience as we improve our facilities.

Symptoms vary depending on the type of somatoform disorder, which includes Briquet’s syndrome, with symptoms involving several different organs and body systems, and undifferentiated somatoform disorder, which includes hypochondriasis, a preoccupation with concern that the suffer has a very serious illness.
