Psychosomatic Disorders & Psychosomatic Medicine

Psychosomatic disorder is a psychological condition involving the occurrence of physical symptoms, usually lacking a medical explanation. People with this condition may have excessive thoughts, feelings or concerns about the symptoms — which affects their ability to function well. People with mental disorder usually don’t report overt symptoms of psychiatric distress. Instead, they believe their problems are caused by medical conditions. They have a tendency to visit healthcare providers frequently to get tests and treatments, often not receiving a diagnosis, which can lead to frustration and distress. Mental disorder is sometimes called somatic symptom disorder, somatic symptoms or somatic pain.

Psychosomatic medicine could also be defined as a comprehensive, interdisciplinary framework for: assessment of psychological factors affecting individual vulnerability also as course and outcome of illness, bio psychosocial consideration of patient care in clinical practice, specialist interventions to integrate. Psychosomatic medicine (PM) may be a newly licensed subspecialty in the field of psychiatry; it is also known as consultation-liaison (C-L) psychiatry. C-L psychiatry provides knowledge, practice, and instruction within the relation between mental and physical illness.
