Headache and stomach disease can not heal for a long time, it may be a psychiatric disease

Zhao Shuzhi, Rongkang Hospital, Henan Province

There are often patients who describe "my headache, neck pain" "I have a stomach pain, I can't eat meals" to the doctor, but when the patient treats cervical spondylosis or gastritis, he has not improved.

In this case, doctors often recommend that they go to psychiatry for help.

Family changes cause physical pain in the patient

Ms. Li is a housewife who has been taking children at home to take care of her father -in -law. The living source of the family depends on her husband.

After asking, the cause of Ms. Li's "headache and neck pain" was that her father had to be hospitalized by her father's sudden cerebral infarction. Affected by the epidemic, Ms. Li could not go to take care of, and her husband was unwilling to pay for her father.

After his father was sick, Ms. Li gradually had symptoms such as headache and neck pain, and even turned her head and felt dizzy and nauseous.

Ms. Li had performed massage and traction treatment at the clinic according to the "cervical spondylosis", without significantly improved.

Grandma Zhang, another patient, was 60 years old. She often felt pain in her waist and legs recently.

Grandma Zhang tossed to many hospitals for examination and treatment, but did not work.

Later, she went to a certain orthopedic hospital for hospitalization. After receiving the treatment methods such as massage, traction, fumigation, etc., Grandma Zhang still felt pain and was unbearable and asked surgical treatment.

After various examinations, it was found that Grandma Zhang's symptoms could not be explained in physiology or pathological, and there was no surgical indication.

The hospital invited a psychiatrist for consultation. After asking the family members of the patient, he found that Grandma Zhang's son suddenly died of illness recently. His daughter settled abroad because the epidemic could not return to China in a short period of time.

After this change, Grandma Zhang was physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't afford to bed. He gradually "low back pain, leg pain" was unbearable, and the effect was not effective everywhere.

After eliminating the body organic lesions, it is necessary to go to the psychiatric clinic

These patients are all kinds of diseases of psychiatrics, called "dysfunction of continuous physical forms". This type of disease is prominently "persistent, severe, and painful pain", but various test results are insufficient results. Support or explain these symptoms.

These diseases are accompanied by certain emotional problems or psychological and social problems.

Why are these factors ignored? The reason is the following aspects:

First, the so -called sense of illness. Most people cannot accept the psychiatric seeing a doctor. They think that when they see a doctor, they prove that they have mental illness and will be regarded as "abnormal people", or even "lunatic".

Second, the lack of psychological health knowledge is even less aware of psychiatric diseases.

Third, patients, family members, and even doctors first pay attention to the symptoms of physical pain in the patient, and rarely pay attention to whether these symptoms are accompanied by tragedy or large changes.

Therefore, when the body has continuous pain, it is necessary to go to the psychiatric treatment when the comprehensive hospital is checked and eliminated the body organic lesions.
