Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 13 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Given this disconnect, an obvious difficulty arises when it becomes necessary to make credibility assessments in cases involving somatoform phenomena. Subjective perceptions of somatoform effects may, in fact, be debilitating even when clinical or diagnostic medical evidence does not fully support the claimed symptoms. It nevertheless remains necessary to make credibility assessments in these settings, and "[i]n cases involving somatoform disorder... an ALJ is not free to reject subjective experiences without an express finding that the claimant's testimony is not credible. Metz v. Shalala , 49 F.3d 374 , 377 (8th Cir. 1995). Where such a finding has been made, "[w]e will not disturb the decision of an ALJ who considers, but for good cause expressly discredits, a claimant's complaints ... even in cases involving somatororm disorder." Gowell v. Apfel , 242 F.3d 793 , 796 (8th Cir. 2001).”

Berryhill“Simply put, the nature of the medical condition and the nature of the life activities, including such considerations as independence, should be considered against the backdrop of whether such activities actually speak to claimant's ability to hold a job. Participation in activities with family or activities at home and "at your own pace" may not reflect an ability to perform at work.”
