All you need to know about psychosomatics

It has long been proven that most of the sores are very closely related to the human nervous system. It is not in vain during any experiences or moments of intense joy that the human body responds to all emotions in the form of unpleasant tremors or joyful shivers. Sometimes, in order to recover from a disease it is enough just to calm down and understand yourself.

At present, there is a science that examines and explores the relationship between a person's mental and physical condition. It's about science such as psychosomatics. Psychosomatics studies the influence of mental factors on the course and appearance of bodily ailments. Doctors under psychosomatic disease mean changes in the organs and tissues of the body under the influence of strong stress. According to statistics, more than 45% of the world's population suffer from psychosomatic diseases.

For the first time about psychosomatics the German psychiatrist I. Heinroth spoke in 1818.The psychiatrist argued that even such a serious illness as tuberculosis arises from constant stresses and a poor emotional state.

Z. Freud is the parent of modern psychosomatics. In the work of Z. Freud, dated 1885, he says that negative feelings such as anger, envy, hatred can lead to the development of paralysis, blindness, deafness, and violation of the swallowing act. The thing is that because of the huge number of public bans a person often has to suppress many of his desires and emotions. And this leads to the fact that these feelings, without finding an outlet, begin to "devour" a person from within, leading to the development of physical sores. So, for example, if during a conversation a person is annoyed by his interlocutor, his first desire is to stand up to yell at him or even to give the uncomfortable interlocutor a couple of cuffs. But a person can not afford such aggression towards another person, as this will not understand and condemn society. It turns out that the sudden aggression of a person is so steep that the subconscious suppresses it even before the consciousness has time to process the emotion.

Sudden aggressive flashes, instead of being embodied in actions, are transmitted by the brain to the somatic systems, which is why changes occur in all organs and tissues of a person. So, for example, often such ailments as problems with eyesight or hearing are due to the fact that a person simply does not want to see or hear this or that information.

After the emotional state leads to the appearance of a physical illness, the disease, it would seem, can be easily diagnosed and cured. But not everything is so simple. After all, even timely and correct treatment can not change the fact that the conflict, because of which the disease developed, still remained open. This will eventually lead to the fact that the ailment will simply pass into a chronic form and get rid of it further will be almost impossible.

We must look for a weak point.

Doctors distinguish 2 types of psychosomatic disease:

1) Functional syndromes - as practice shows, more than 50% of all diseases associated with the respiratory, digestive and genitourinary system occur due to functional syndrome. In this case, when studying the patient's body, there are no real changes in human tissues and organs. Doctors warn that in the risk zone are those organs that are genetically most predisposed to change. Therefore, people with a genetic predisposition of any organs to these or other diseases, should be very careful, since in the moments of emotional imbalance, it is these organs that will primarily suffer. For example, people with migraine should think about the fact that the cause of permanent headaches can be not only physiology, but also an imbalance in the emotional state.

• Ulcerative colitis.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Thyrotoxicosis.
• Essential hypertension.
• Neurodermatitis.
• Stomach ulcer.
• Rheumatoid arthritis.

Currently, doctors have added to this list many more diseases:

• Constipation.
• Cancer.
• Bulimia and anorexia.
• Diabetes mellitus.
• Obesity.
• Impotence.
• Bronchial asthma.
• Hypertension.

Physical illness as a signal

Somatic disease, which occurs due to a psychological condition, can be viewed from several points of view.

1. Disease, as the basis of benefit - in this case it can not be said that the ailment solves the psychological problem, it only weakens the discomfort a little. Some people with the help of an illness avoid unpleasant conversations or, on the contrary, try to attract the attention of surrounding people.
2. Illness as a compensation - in this case people who can not satisfy their psychological desires, try to satisfy their needs through illness. So, for example, often the increased sweating of a person indicates that he constantly tries to contain his tears.
3. Disease as a warning - in this case ailment on the basis of subconscious memory, as a rule, signals that a potentially dangerous situation has arisen in a person's life. So, for example, if the child was frightened by a red dog in childhood, then there is a high probability that with age, if this person buys a red dog, he suddenly begins to feel bad. The thing is that the subconscious will give signals about a possible danger, since in childhood a similar situation was, but with age, it was simply forgotten.
4. Disease, as an installation - studies have shown that a person can himself "impose" a certain disease. To prove this, an experiment was carried out. Hypnotists applied a cold coin to the person, claiming that she was hot. After the coin was removed, in the place where it was attached to the person, burns were visible. This was proved once again by the fact that a man with the power of thought can control physiological reactions. That is, a person often thinks up himself, and then believes in his illnesses.

The main thing - not a disease, but a man!

Although it has long been proven that the psychological state of a person affects his physiology very much, irreconcilable disputes are still going on between doctors. Some doctors argue that even the most difficult psychological condition can not greatly affect the physiology of a person and all the more so cause any serious ailments. Another group of doctors say that almost all diseases, except venereal diseases, can be attributed to psychosomatics.

Whatever the opinion of psychosomatic, but you can not argue that psychosomatic diseases can be cured if you affect not only the body, but also the soul of a person. That is, in the presence of a disease other than traditional treatment it is important to talk with a professional( psychologist and psychotherapist).So the chances for a speedy recovery will be much greater.
