The attitude of patients to the realization that they suffer from psychosomatic diseases

The behavior patterns of patients in a state of somatic disease can be different, since somatic disease causes different behavior of patients depending on the accepted cultural behaviors and especially on the accepted family model of behavior in the disease. For example, it is known that some families cultivate a "cult of health", so that even the slightest health disorder causes an inadequate, often pronounced, fear of panic.

The public opinion that the disease belongs to the patient, in some patients, guided by the experience of annuity from the disease, aggravates (simulates) the signs of the disease. On the contrary, other patients are prone to dissimulation (concealment of signs of the disease), which the doctor should take into account during the examination.

Patients in a severe somatic situation most often change their scalp and behave differently. These behaviors can be: active cooperation, falsification, avoidance and surrender.

1. Actively cooperating relationships
In these relationships, the patient's attitude to his/her own somatic disease is such that he/she reasonably accepts the objective condition and cooperates with the doctor as much as possible. The doctor should always insist on this attitude of the patient with the utmost caution, because they are very grateful for the treatment due to the tendency to strictly adhere to all instructions and actively cooperate with the therapist.

2. Fireworks
Somatic illness in a feyter relationship gives the patient an energetic attitude to his illness. Such relationships are favorable and desirable for the final result of treatment.

3. Avoid relationships
A patient with an avoidant relationship, upon learning that he or she has a somatic disease (which is not prognostically favorable), does not accept the knowledge or denies the disease. The patient in his mental processing rejects the fact that there are signs of the disease and thus interferes with treatment because he does not follow the doctor's instructions, does not use medications as part of prescribed therapy or delays and avoids undergoing diagnostic procedures.

4. Capitalization of relations
A patient with a capitulating attitude to his illness, say, internal organs, is drawn into his surrender and unwillingness to cooperate with the doctor. Such patients have a defeatist attitude, refuse to take medications and often comment on them; "It is not worth taking medications or doing surgical interventions, because it should be, because it is force majeure."
