Psychosomatics (English: psychosomatic) – this term refers to a specific field concerned with the study of the interaction between mental processes and the physical condition of the body. Based on the principle of the close interrelationship between the mental and the physiological, psychosomatics examines how a person's mental health can have a direct impact on their physical well-being and the presence of somatic symptoms.
In this discipline, the emphasis is placed on the influence of psychological stress, emotional strain, and internal psychological conflicts on the development of physiological problems, such as digestive system diseases, skin disorders, and other physical ailments.
For example, there is a connection between chronic stress and the onset of stomach problems or the worsening of skin conditions during psychoemotional distress.
