Psychosomania is an anxiety attack in which a person believes they are sick. These attacks can be so severe that the person can litterally create false symptoms that fit the illness they believe they have. These symptoms can be so real that doctors are faked out and prescribe real medication. This medication, when introduced into our psychosomatic patient, can cause real damage just as if they are proscribed to a healthy one.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is primarily an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation in the joints, not classified as a psychosomatic illness.
