A lot of existing resources seem to handle this poorly, and classify a lot of things as psychiatric that are not (or were considered this way historically). We need a review of this area

Example:

id: DOID:0060164
name: pain disorder
namespace: disease_ontology
def: "A somatoform disorder that involves chronic pain in one or more areas, and is thought to be caused by psychological stress." [url:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pain_disorder]
is_a: DOID:4737  ! somatoform disorder
