Why would someone critique the biomedical model's explanation of Somatic Symptom Disorder?

The model fails to consider past traumatic experiences as potential causes for current symptoms.
The biomedical model overlooks psychosocial factors contributing to physical symptoms.
This model disregards the patient's perception of their own condition.
