Psychosomatics and the mechanisms of occurrence of psychosomatic disorder

Nowadays, along with physiological disorders, there are a number of psychosomatic diseases. Many people apply to medical facilities with various complaints. Pain caused by psychosomatic disorders is one of the most urgent problems of modern medicine. The variety of psychosomatic diseases (disorders) makes this issue even more relevant: cardiovascular system disorders, digestive system disorders, swallowing disorders, eating disorders (bulemia, anorexia), respiratory system disorders (bronchial system), metabolic disorders, various skin diseases , individual joint and muscle diseases, chronic headaches (e.g. migraine) and others. Despite the fact that the existence of psychosomatic diseases is known to modern medicine, doctors still find it difficult to make a correct diagnosis, and often such patients are treated only with medication, which, of course, does not produce productive results. Many questions remain open: what is psychosomatics? What does the term "psychosomatic" mean? What are the mechanisms of occurrence? Who is in the risk group? What does the frequency and intensity of psychosomatic pain depend on? In this article, we are trying to answer these questions.
