Before we talk about psychosomatic disorders I want you remind this quote “You are what you think”. That is a classic and powerful quote that really can affect someone.
People often complaints about illness, but actually that originated from the burden of the mind. One of them could lead to psychosomatic disorders. And the bad news is psychosomatic disorders can lead you the bad condition, even death.
So, psychosomatic disorder is a condition of someone that feeling sick, but the problem is cannot found on their body.
I want to give an example for the description of psychosomatic disorders. Andy, Male 38 years was referred to Poly and Poly Mental Illness In the complaint has feel ulcer and the chest pain in. Complaints increasingly felt excruciating when ulcer drug from a doctor is no longer work to cope with stomach pain.
After a thorough examination found no interference with the employees who like to play this stock. Experts suspect the disease in Andy experiencing psychosomatic disorders and refer him to the mental consultant.
Results from interviews known that Andy always thinking of its shares and the fear of losing money. He has a family background that just barely, so the money was meant for him. That thought getting manifest into physical complaints such stomach pain.
Mind Causes psychosomatic disorders
psychosomatic disorders are psychological and emotional conditions that cause physical disturbance. In the illustration above case, fear of losing money affects condition Andy’s body.
psychosomatic disorders must be distinguished by feeling groggy or stage fright. Groggy only cause discomfort for a moment, when events that create ongoing nervous. Characteristic of psychosomatic disorders is the presence of repeated physical complaints in the long term, although the diagnosis of patients otherwise fine. Not only the stomach, can our body parts get the impact.
In fact, in severe cases of psychosomatic disorders, patients may experience blindness, the problem of gender, or sexual problems such as difficulty erection and ejaculation. This is called pseudo neurological, stage where the burden of the mind affects the body nervous.
The cause of psychosomatic disorders is the burden of mind that cannot go out or disbursed. For example, the patient did not have friends to confide in, so save the expense thoughts. psychosomatic disorders are most common in the early age of 30. Children can be protected from this disorder because it has not had the burden of thinking like an adult.
Besides drugs, patients should be given psychosomatic psychotherapy that aims to explore the hidden psychological problems. In the hope after the problem is eliminated, the physical complaints of patients also lost.
