Psychosis Somatoreactive

Somatoform psychosis, or somatoparanoid, is a mental disorder that manifests itself in the patient’s development of beliefs and obsessive fears in which he feels a connection between his somatic symptoms (bodily sensations) and real or imagined dangers. In psychosis of this type, a significant place is occupied by imaginary sensations - so-called pseudohallucinations (sensations that arise without a real object). This is one of the types of hysterical psychosis.



Introduction: Currently, psychoanalysis is considered one of the most effective methods of psychotherapy, which allows you to see both the external world and the internal world of a person in his behavior and interpersonal relationships, and also helps to correct these relationships and influence the behavior and motivation of a person. Psychoses are serious illnesses that can affect people. In particular, somatoreactive psychosis (according to ICD-10 - F48.0) occurs as a result of the interaction of several factors, such as genetic predisposition, diseases of the central nervous system, impaired organ function, hormonal disorders, etc. This is a serious disorder that can lead to social isolation and disruption of a person's functioning. Therefore, it is important to know the symptoms of this disorder so that you can promptly help the patient undergo treatment, and thereby prevent possible consequences for a person’s life and health.

Chapter 1: General information about the diagnosis: Simotorism is an excessive reaction of the body to environmental stimuli, when the reaction is more intense than the stimulus itself. Somatized neurosis is a condition in which the body reacts to stress not through a psychological reaction, but through physical manifestations and sensations. Such symptoms may include jerky movements, redness of the skin, sweating, slow speech, tachycardia, etc. Dysmorphophobia is the perception of oneself as a pathological object, be it a reflection in the mirror or a false perception of one's body. A dysmorphophobic person perceives his body as different, different from the real one, and tries to be invisible and rejected among people. This condition can cause social isolation, limited contact with society, and in some cases can even lead to the development of depression. Somatopsychic syndrome is a consequence of mental disorders manifested by physiological symptoms. This disorder is characterized by a long time for symptoms to appear, the difficulty of detecting them, and is often associated with stressful situations and an unfavorable psychological atmosphere in the patient’s environment. Hysterical neurosis is a condition associated with excessive demonstration of emotions and gestures aimed at attracting the attention of others. Often this is due to unmet human needs, lack of attention, fear of losing love and support, or a belief in one’s exclusivity and importance, even despite the real status of others. As a result, a person begins to attract attention to himself by any means, often including phenomena that are pathological for the body itself. Hysterical traits can manifest themselves both in childhood and throughout life. A distinctive feature of hysteria is the inability to control emotions when a person becomes overly excited. With hysterical neurosis, a person may begin to be haunted by obsessions, behavioral stereotypes, phobias and even panic attacks. What are the symptoms of somato-war syndrome? A person may begin to experience pain in the heart area, increased heartbeat, muscle spasms, disturbances in sleep and sleeping patterns, and disruption of the gastrointestinal tract and urinary system. Often, a patient consults a doctor solely with a complaint about the above symptoms, and only after examination and testing and diagnostic methods does the doctor discover the presence of this mental illness.

Conclusion: The difficulty of diagnosing and treating diseases associated with a mental state lies in the fact that
