Mind-body medicine explores the interconnection between the
mind and body, under the premise that the mind affects “bodily
functions and symptoms.” As per the University of Maryland Medical
Center, mind-body medicine uses the power of thoughts and emotions
to influence physical health. As Hippocrates once wrote, “The natural
healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well.”
This is mind-body medicine in a nutshell. The term “psychosomatic
disease/disorder/illness” is mainly used to mean “a physical disease
that is caused, or made worse, by mental factors.” The term is also used
when mental factors cause physical symptoms but where there is no
physical disease. For example, chest pain may be caused by stress and
no physical disease can be found. Some physical diseases are prone
to be made worse by mental factors such as stress and anxiety. At any
given time, a person’s mental state can affect the degree of severity
of a physical disease. Physical symptoms that are caused by mental
factors are also called somatization or somatoform disorders. These
symptoms are due to increased activity of nervous impulses sent
from the brain to various parts of the body. There is a deep connection
between the mind (beliefs, thoughts and emotions) and the different
parts of the body and physical problems. A number of factors may play
a role in psychosomatic disorders, such as personality traits; genetic
or environmental family influences; biological factors; learned behavior
and more. When one is not at ease, that means there is some kind of
dis-ease; and disease can be reversed (completely or to a great extent)
by simply reversing or changing mental/thought patterns, and at times
by adding some physical exercises and changing some food habits.
According to Dr. J. A. Winter, M.D., the psychosomatic illness is one
of function, rather than of structure, although structural changes
may occur later. It is based on some past experience, usually painful.
This illness seems to arise from problem situations and from words
(reflection of thoughts), rather than from actual injuries, or infection.
