About Psychosomatic Medicine
Psychosomatic medicine addresses how stress and emotions affect physical symptoms such as pain, palpitations, stomach upset and fatigue. The symptoms are real, even when tests are normal.
Care first excludes physical disease and then uses therapy, relaxation and, when needed, medicines. Understanding the link often brings relief.
