Hmmm . . . . : I'm not sure what you mean by "psychosomatic attack"? However, it's certainly possible for anxiety and depression to manifest in physical symptoms from head to toe. The pathway to recovery would include psychotherapy with a skilled psychologist, psychiatrist, or other therapist. You might see if you can find one also versed in somatic experiencing: http://tinyurl.Com/mrluhzd be well.

Depression: First consult with your doctor to rule out any medical causes. If cleared ask for a referral to a mental health professional who can help you uncover the reasons for unexplained attacks. Confide in those close to you in the meantime, talk openly to see if you can discover what stressors in your life may be affecting you and causing distress. Best.
