Today there is an increase in psychosomatic diseases, the causes of which are not known yet. In addition to the increasing number of diseases, some diseases have also become younger. Studies have shown that psychological factors play a major role in the development of psychosomatic diseases. Psychomatics focuses on understanding the behavioural processes around health, illness and disability. Knowledge in the field of Psychosomatics will enable the student to properly organize their own life and work, respond appropriately to surrounding events, and learn about the mechanisms for maintaining mental health.
The aim is to provide students with knowledge about Psychosomatics directions and concepts and to acquaint students with psychological aspects of the psychosomatic disorders and diseases, about the importance of psychological and social factors in the onset of disease.
