It's all in your head

True Stories About Imaginary Illnesses Our body instinctively responds to the emotions present in our brain. Butterflies in the stomach, for example, are a bodily reaction to anxiety; no one doubts that. Some physical symptoms, however, have no apparent cause. Based on the accounts of the difficulties faced by the patients Dr. Suzanne treated, she confirms that, despite their obvious manifestations, some illnesses are impossible to detect through clinical diagnosis. By exposing real cases of psychosomatic disorders, the author demonstrates the concrete effects of psychogenic pathologies. Reading this book not only promotes deep reflection on mental health but also reveals our difficulty in identifying the intimate relationship between body and mind.
