Psychosomatic Medicine is a field that studies the connection between the mind and body, focusing on how psychological factors can influence physical health. It examines how stress, emotions, and mental states can lead to or exacerbate physical illnesses, such as chronic pain or gastrointestinal disorders.
This discipline emphasizes a holistic approach to treatment, integrating both psychological and medical care. By addressing mental health through therapies like cognitive-behavioral therapy or mindfulness, healthcare providers aim to improve overall well-being and help patients manage their physical symptoms more effectively.
