Psychosomatics in the treatment of dermatitis
It is difficult to find such a multifunctional organ in the human body than skin. It is the boundary between the inner world and the environment, acting as an organ for the manifestation of emotions and feelings. She also performs an aesthetic function.
Every patient who is familiar with skin diseases, in particular dermatitis, knows how much they can complicate a person’s life. In addition to severe discomfort, this ailment can cause psychological suffering. In addition, the usual therapeutic agents in most situations help very poorly, in connection with which many doctors recommend looking for the causes of dermatitis not only in physiology, but also in psychosomatics.
The skin is often called a real mirror of the internal state of the human body, as well as its psychological health. Often, dermatitis occurs as a consequence of some strong emotions or stress, and if this condition is permanent, then the disease also becomes its constant companion. When diagnosing and treating dermatitis, it is important to consider which part of the body is affected by the disease.
For example, when a rash and redness appears on the legs or arms, this may mean that the patient does not want to do something or go somewhere. Dermatitis that occurs on the head often speaks of reduced self-esteem, and a manifestation of the disease that appears on the neck indicates a suppressed human will.
But a serious, neglected case of dermatitis can indicate extremely severe phobias, because of which a person subconsciously tries to isolate himself from others. Usually this happens with sensitive people who are seriously experiencing any problems and hardships. In such a situation, dermatitis acts as a manifestation of an internal conflict, and something like protection from the outside world. The situation may turn out to be the opposite, when a person feels rejection from people, suffering from this, any negative emotions appear in the form of skin itching, and, in addition, redness and the like.
Finally, often skin problems are directly related to relationships with parents and children. This includes atopic dermatitis, often found in childhood. In this case, an in-depth study of each case is required. For example, this disease can be associated with a severe deficiency or, conversely, the excess of maternal love, as well as with a certain kind of injustice that parents show.
Thus, if a person has severe dermatitis, it is recommended to immediately begin serious psychological treatment. The symptoms and manifestations of this disease cannot be ignored, since they involve a cry for help, indicating serious problems.
