Human body – a complex harmonious system in which everything is interconnected. Our brain and nervous system are responsible for processes of activity of an organism. In the people say: All diseases – from nerves, and that is interesting, such statement has scientific justification. Psychosomatics is engaged in studying this phenomenon.

Psychosomatic diseases result from interaction of psychological and physical factors. It does not mean at all that any disease arises for the psychological reasons. For example, during a flu epidemic our organism is exposed to the virus attack even if we do not want to get sick.

However it is necessary to recognize that if at heart you like to receive excess day off or just that you were regretted, sympathized, gave the chance it will be much simpler to relax, to ache a little.

If psychological factors are decisive, it is about a psychosomatic disease (mentality – soul, a somatika – a body). It is necessary to think of the rhythm of life and to look for other sources of a consolation, perhaps, to address the psychologist, to be ill actually unpleasantly, and the advantage in it cannot be.

It is important! If you got sick, immediately see a doctor who is engaged in treatment of a physical disease. It is impossible to waste time, otherwise there can be complications. It is worth addressing the psychologist, only if treatment does not yield result or as an additional measure of treatment, together with traditional.

Somatic diseases, unlike psychosomatic, have no relation to state of mind of the person. They are caused by external factors and demand treatment by traditional methods.

Influence of state of mind on developing of diseases was noticed in antique times, however for the first time the term psychosomatics, or psychosomatic diseases, was entered by the German psychiatrist Johann Geynrot.

At a public lecture in 1818 the scientist explained that it, connecting such somatic diseases as cancer, tuberculosis, epilepsy with the experienced rage and sincere sufferings and also sexual dissatisfaction and problems of the sexual sphere.

Whether you know? I. Geynrot is the scientist whose ideas obeyed yours faithfully, but mistrust as it was impossible to check operation of the mechanism. The scientist was considered the moralist accusing people of sins. Meanwhile its judgments of communication of soul and a body for century outstripped science.

In the next decades many scientists (M. Jacobi, Novalis, F. Nietzsche) developed and improved the theory of interrelation corporal and sincere, but the medicine of that time was not ready to accept their ingenious judgments. Only in 1934-1936 the psychosomatic diseases began to be considered by medicine seriously. Numerous works of such scientists as Denbar, Dzheliffa, Groddek, Wolf served as the reason for that.

Sign figure in studying psychosomatics is the American psychiatrist F. Alexander. He in the middle of the XX century allocated the main diseases which can be caused by an emotional condition of the person, having confirmed it with numerous works.

Today there is no doubt left concerning reality of a problem and though disputes on psychosomatic diseases continue, as the reason of their emergence recognizes set of social, spiritual and physical factors.

There is a set of various psychosomatic frustration, depending on symptoms they are divided into three big groups.

The disease is reaction to the neurotic conflict – the person at the same time has opposite desire, in his consciousness there is a conflict of own interests which does not manage to be resolved rationally, and there is a feeling of dissatisfaction, experience of loss or failure, awareness of unattainability of the vital purposes.

Course of a disease is influenced by personal qualities of the person, features of his character are shown, influence of the injuring factor is reflected.

Important! Conversion symptoms are most often shown at emotional, creative people. There is a disease because of the overestimated requirements to itself or people around and involves violations of motility and disorder of work of sense organs.

Symptoms have purely symbolical character, demonstration of a disease is way of a solution to the conflict:

• feeling of fatigue, lack of forces;
• cuts and paralyzes;
• psychogenic blindness and deafness;
• vomiting;
• inexplicable pains;
• twitching of extremities.

Whether you know? Negative emotions (fear, anger, grief) force a human body to contract, feel tension whereas positive (tranquility, joy) give to an organism the chance to relax, give feelings of ease and freedom. This mechanism is not only psychological, it has physical impact on work of all bodies and the systems of an organism.

The essence of a disease is that unpleasant emotions go to a body, at the same time the situation becomes rather pleasant as he forgets about emotional loading for the patient and besides draws attention and sympathy of people around.

The person shows all symptoms of a disease which he actually does not have. In most cases process happens unconsciously, however to cure the patient very difficult – he does not trust in psychological roots of an illness and in all ways interferes with treatment.

Are shown in the form of a disease of separate human organs. The patient complains of a set of uncertain symptoms of diseases of all organism. At the same time clinical trials show that the person is quite healthy and no serious violations are observed. But the reason is hidden much more deeply – in subconsciousness of the person. Functional syndromes are shown in a look:

• the persistent pains which are almost not depending on external factors;
• violations of work of heart;
• ponos, locks;
• conditions of uneasiness.

The people suffering from functional syndromes most often do not suspect about psychological etiologies and are treated as ordinary patients. But traditional treatment can drag on for years, without yielding essential results. Here it is important to address the psychotherapist as soon as possible. Disposal of psychological frustration will eliminate signs of physical discomfort.

• oncological diseases;
• neurodermatitis;
• nonspecific polyarthritis;
• rheumatoid arthritis;
• diabetes of the second type;

1. The disease arose against the background of the unexpected psychoinjuring shock or chronic psychological fatigue.
