Psychosomatic medicine is a multidisciplinary branch of medicine dedicated to the study and clinical practice of medicine in relation with all processes that cause a pathological interaction between mind and body or between mental and physical processes.
Psychoneuroimmunology or PNI, is the most related discipline to Psychosomatic medicine, but not the only one; geriatrics, pediatrics, surgery, gynecology, endocrinology. cardiology, psychiatry, internal medicine, gastroenterology, cosmetic surgery, emergency medicine and many other branches may at one time or other treat disorders with psychosomatic causes or complications.
Psychosomatic is a word that is sometimes erroneously used in a pejorative way for saying 'it is all in your mind', what adds suffering to those who already are suffering from a psychosomatic disorder. The correct use of the term, is instead a key to solve some puzzling mix of symptoms that could not be attributed to a particular illness or that can be attributed to many disorders.
If the body suffers because a problem generated in the mind or if the mind and emotional well being suffer because a problem of the body, then that is a psychosomatic disorder.
