What is a "psychosomatic disorder"?

A psychosomatic disorder is a condition where physical symptoms are caused or worsened by psychological factors such as stress, anxiety, trauma, or emotional distress. In other words, emotional or mental factors trigger physical symptoms without an underlying medical cause. Examples of psychosomatic disorders include tension headaches, irritable bowel syndrome, and chronic pain syndromes. Treatment usually involves addressing both the physical symptoms and the underlying psychological factors through therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and stress management strategies.
