Somatoform disorder

Somatoform disorder

My good friend has had Somatoform disorder for a year and a half. It causes her to shake constantly and also have severe non-epiletic seizures.
She spent 6 weeks in hospital and has counselling. She also takes Citalopram and Diazepam which give her no relief. Her husband has given up work to care for her full time and she has no independance.
Are there any therapies or medication which would help her? Would hypnotherapy help?
