A psychosomatic disorder is a physical alteration for which no physiological cause is found at the origin. The symptoms are related to some psychological conflict. The term psychosomatic encompasses the combination of biological, environmental, social and psychological factors. To understand the nature and symptoms of psychosomatic disorders, it is indispensable to consider the mind and the body as all integrated. For this reason it is always convenient to bear in mind the great influence of physical illnesses in the psychological sphere and vice versa.
Gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, breathing difficulties, cardiac arrhythmias, pressure de-regulation, ulcers, skin diseases, contractures and other diseases known as psychosomatic disorders. Other more nonspecific psychosomatic symptoms appear, which are more or less related to the psychological sphere of the individual, including dizziness, the sensation of shortness of breath, urinary problems, sexual problems, hair loss, and even disorders of the senses.
