| Abstract | The presence of somatic symptoms in children has been widely analyzed in international studies, but there is a lack of studies aimed at studying the characteristics of somatic symptoms in Spanish children with depressive symptoms. This study examines the relationship between somatic complaints and depressive symptoms in a sample of Spanish children, taking into account their age and sex. Participants were 666 children aged between 8 and 12 years who completed the Child Depression Inventory and the Children’s Somatization Inventory that examine 35 somatic symptoms. The results indicate that pseudoneurological, pain and gastrointestinal symptoms are more common in children with depressive symptoms, being the joint pain, headache and fatigue the most prevalent symptoms. An adequately detection of somatic symptoms in children could be important due to these symptoms often may respond to an emotional disorder rather than a physical illness. |
