Medical psychosomatics. Apropros of one date

The possibility of regenerating interest in medical psychosomatics is associated with the revision of its goals and objectives. The major types of psychosomatic ratios, which determine how a mental disorder and a somatic disease affect each other (provoke an exacerbation, aggravate their course, and predetermine the development of a clinical type), are formulated. The paper shows that there may be psychic symptoms within somatic diseases and the latter within mental disorders. It gives clinical examples and recommendations to optimize psychosomatic care.
