A member asked:
What is the best way to deal with psychosomatic symptoms? and how to tell if they are psychosomatic in nature?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See doctor: See your pcp for exam to rule out medical or 'somatic' basis for your symptoms. If negative, you are left with the 'psyche' or psychological basis for symptoms. You may then want a mental health professional to help you better understand and cope with your physical distress. Good luck.
