Topic Ne 2. «Classification and main types of psychosomatic
disorders »
(practical lesson - 2 hours )
2. Educational goals.
To know: scientific directions of modern psychosomatic
medicine and learn the basics of the classification of psychosomatic
disorders.
Kisker K.P. et al. Psychosomatic diseases are diseases in which psychosocial factors are
recognized as primary and partly causal in the emergence and further
course of these disorders, while also taking into account convincing
biological aspects.
Smulevich A. B. Psychosomatic disorders are a group of painful conditions that arise on
the basis of the interaction of mental and somatic factors and are
manifested by the somatization of mental disorders, mental disorders that
reflect a reaction to somatic diseases, or the development of somatic
pathology under the influence of psychogenic factors.
The close interweaving and mutual influence of mental and somatic disorders allows
us to distinguish within the pathology of this circle five types of states that reflect a
different structure of psychosomatic relationships:
1. Somatized mental reactions are somatoform disorders formed as a result of
emotional-psychosomatic pathology within the formations of neurotic or individual-
constitutional registers (neurotic disorders, neuropathies, and personality disorders).
2. Psychogenic and personal reactions (nosogenies) arising in connection with a
somatic disease (which acts as a psychotraumatic event, as a subjectively involuntary
factor, independent of the will, which significantly affects the patient's quality of life)
— secondary neurotic disorders of acute and protracted types.
3. Organ or systemic somatic lesions of a psychosomatic nature, arising in response to
a constellation of social-psychogenic, personal- and bioconstitutional factors (in the
form of a "response” of the target organ or system — locus minoris resistentia).
4. Reactions of an exogenous type (somatogenesis), which develop as a result of the
neurotoxic effect of a somatic disease, in the form of neurotic or psychotic organic
symptoms.
5. Somatopsychic comorbidity is a relatively independent parallel flow of somatic
disease and pathology of the mental sphere.
Peculiarities of mental activity in chronic somatic diseases.
M. Bleiler described the types of psychosomatic disorders as follows:
1. Organic somatic diseases, in the development of which the psychogenic component
plays a major role. As a rule, this includes peptic ulcer disease of the stomach and
duodenum. It is controversial to include in their number myocardial infarction,
migraine, bronchial asthma, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis and neurodermatitis.
As for psychogenic death, its cause can be neurotic anorexia with complete refusal to
eat and extreme irritation of the adreno-cortical system in a state of terror. A model of
such a reaction is the death of some hypersensitive creatures, for example, "scalar" fish,
in response to a sharp impulse-impact on the glass of the aquarium. Another example of
psychogenic death is death from breaking a taboo in native tribes that believe in it.
2. Psychogenic functional disorders, when they are short-lived and less pronounced,
are on the border of the norm, but sometimes they are classified as neurotic diseases.
We are talking about cardioreaction, pronounced sweating, stuttering, tics, vomiting,
constipation, enuresis, sexual disorders.
3. Psychosomatic disorders in a broader, indirect sense. The disorder is caused by the
corresponding relationship arising from the characteristics of the individual and his
experiences; this attitude leads to behavior that results in ill health.
3.1. Susceptibility to injuries. According to Buresh, who summarized the material of
more than 70 authors, in persons with an increased tendency to injuries, we are talking
about properties that are the opposite of those that usually correspond to such concepts
as accuracy and thoroughness.
3.2. Obesity. Eating is not only a biological and physiological act. The reception of
exquisite exotic dishes can cause a feeling of bliss in foodies, ordinary curiosity in
others, and in some - repulsion. Some patients eat tasteless diet meals with pleasure,
realizing that dietary nutrition is an important component of successful treatment, in the
success of which they believe, while others perceive the diet as an unpleasant attribute
that accompanies the disease, and nothing good comes from the disease and the
prescribed diet it will be, even if it is worse. The quality and quantity of food can be an
indicator of social prestige; food plays the role of a reward; fullness is often considered
by people subconsciously as a sign of solidity and prudence (Norman Mailer:
"politicians dare not be thin. Thin people in leading positions do not inspire
confidence"). According to the views accepted among psychoanalysts, the tendency to
obesity can be a defense against an unwanted marriage, or an alibi for failures in social
relations and in life. For obese people, it is necessary to find out to what extent their
needs in life are satisfied and their plans are fulfilled, for example, the need for self-
affirmation, recognition, security, erotic satisfaction. Increased food consumption may
be a substitute, a subconscious compensation for dissatisfaction in one or most of these
areas, a compensation quite reliably. , as in most cases it is easily accessible (at least it
was until recent times). Thus, an obese woman examined by R. Nakonechnyi and M.
Boukhan expressed her opinion about such compensation in a short but exact phrase:
"Are you surprised that I like to eat so much? But do I have anything in the world
besides food?” It is clear that these compensations also take place in actual mental
disorders, namely depressions (especially hidden ones) and neuroses.
Holy Seven
Among many psychosomatic diseases, the most researched group of the so-called
"seven sacred cows" of psychosomatics is traditionally singled out, which includes:
peptic ulcer disease of the stomach and duodenum; nonspecific ulcerative colitis;
bronchial asthma; thyrotoxicosis (Bazed's disease); essential hypertension; rheumatoid
arthritis; atopic dermatitis (the old name is neurodermatitis).
Harmful mental factors are found almost always in the socio-psychological field of
modern civilization. Hence the name "diseases of civilization", a large part of which
refers to psychosomatosis. As people age, the frequency of so-called "normal”
(according to the terminology of V.M. Dilman, 1987) major non-infectious diseases
increases. It increases especially quickly after the completion of the body's
development. These diseases include:
- decreased carbohydrate tolerance (accompanied by hyperglycemia,
hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance);
- obesity, which is associated with an increase in the sensitivity threshold of the
ventromedial center of the hypothalamus to glucose and insulin, hyperinsulinemia;
- atherosclerosis (accompanied by hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia,
hyperinsulinemia);
- hyperadaptation (with simultaneous increased activity of the sympathetic-adrenal and
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal systems);
- hypertensive disease;
- metabolic immunodepression (associated with the accumulation of cholesterol in cell
membranes, the effect of corticosteroids and hypercholesterolemia);
- mental depression (related to a violation of the exchange of biogenic amines in the
hypothalamus);
- autoimmune disorders (accompanied by a decrease in the function of T-suppressors);
- cancrophilia (which is expressed in the creation of conditions that promote the
development of tumors: a decrease in immune reactions, the emergence of foci of
intense cell division under the influence of compensatory reactions;
- climax (decrease in estrogen production and sharp increase in gonadotropin
production).
The speed of development of these diseases and their combination in each individual
largely depends on genetic predisposition, and the external pathogenetic factors that
cause them are primarily overeating, as well as periodic acute or chronic stress.
