Somatization
Explanations > Behaviors > Coping > Somatization Description | Example | Discussion | So what?
DescriptionSomatization occurs where a psychological problem turns into physical and subconscious symptoms. This can range from simple twitching to skin rashes, heart problems and worse. ExampleA policeman, who has to be very restricted in his professional behavior, develops hypertension. A worried actor develops a twitch. DiscussionWhen the subconscious mind is suffering from a problem which is not addressed and cannot be considered, it grabs attention by attacking the physical body. This can have useful consequences, for example, a person who is overstressing themselves may get a physical problem that forces them to slow down. The symptoms created can be a problem for normal doctors, as there is no physical cause of the problem. The reverse effect can happen where a placebo actually causes a person to recover. So what?When people have physical symptoms, consider the possibility of psychological causes. Of course you should get medical opinion first to determine whether there really is a medical cause (and perhaps to help them get physical relief). If symptoms persist, you may be able to effect a 'miracle cure'. See also |
