psychosomatic

Disease specialist in psychosomatic and medical palliative consultants in Bethsaida Hospital Gading Serpong, Mudjaddid said, psychosomatic is a real medical condition but is strongly influenced by psychological and emotional factors.
“Not that patients pretend to be sick, but negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, or past trauma can ‘disguise’ a physical symptom in various organs,” Mudjadid explained in a written statement, Tuesday (29/7).
In the medical world, psychosomatic is considered a bridge between mental and physical health.Emotions that are not channeled properly can affect the work of the nervous system, hormones, to immunity.
As a result, patients feel various physical symptoms that are difficult to explain by ordinary medical diagnoses.
Symptoms experienced can move and often confusing, ranging from stomach pain, dizziness, limp body, to heart palpitations.
“Interestingly, this complaint can appear on a change without a clear pattern, making patients feel more frustrated because they feel sick, but never get a definite medical explanation,” he said.
One important thing that needs to be understood, psychosomatic is not a fictional disease.This condition really makes patients feel physically uncomfortable, although laboratory and radiology results show the body is normal.
Therefore, the approach needed is not only from the medical side, but also psychological.
“The holistic approach is very necessary. It is not enough to only treat physical complaints, but also must touch the emotional and psychological aspects of patients,” added Mudjaddid.
Handling of psychosomatic diseases usually involves a combination of psychological therapy, meditation or relaxation, lifestyle changes, and if necessary, treatment to relieve physical symptoms.
