Ep. 6 - Emotional Issues causing Physical Sickness

In this podcast I discuss the growing awareness of the link between emotional / mental causes and physical sickness.  The bio-psycho-social model is evidence of this respect for the multi-faceted nature of health, but there still seems to be a general distrust and perhaps fear of these connections in the mainstream culture.

Similar triggers can manifest different types of sickness, depending on our bodies and genetic profiles. This is why generalised disorders such as CSS (centralised sensitivity disorder) and other systemic disorders are beginning to emerge with seemingly different manifestations of sickness, all categorised under the same disorder. 

We also use 'Polymyalgia / Fibromyalgia' and 'Migraines / Headaches' as examples of how a social or psychological stressor can create a physical sickness.
