Psychosomatic medicine is a field that focuses on understanding and treating the relationship between an individual's mental health (the psyche) and their physical well-being (somatics). This interdisciplinary approach recognizes that emotional, psychological or social factors can have a significant impact on a person’s overall health. Conditions such as chronic pain, fatigue, headaches, gastrointestinal disorders, and other medical symptoms may be influenced by mental processes, stressors, or environmental factors. Psychosomatic medicine seeks to identify these underlying psychological factors in order to develop effective treatment plans that address both the physical symptoms and their emotional causes.
