Patient: About two months ago, the child kept thinking he was suffering from ankylosing spondylitis, and then after tests, he was not. Now he thinks he has prostatitis again. Every day he is in a trance and depressed, and all day long he wants his parents to take him for various tests. A: According to your child’s situation, I am not sure whether the child has a psychological problem, but at least it shows a manifestation of the child’s anxiety about his own health or disease. We call this condition “hypochondriasis”. However, it is not important whether the diagnosis is made, but how the child’s phenomenon is perceived. 2. sometimes patients cannot verbalize their emotions and therefore use somatic symptoms or somatic complaints to express their emotional state; 3. some people use somatic complaints to deal with stress; 4. some use somatic complaints to alleviate psychological conflicts; 5. others use somatic symptoms to replace repressed non-instinctive impulses. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that there is really a substantial problem. In conclusion, it makes sense for an 18-year-old to have such symptoms, whether it is a somatic illness or a psychological one. Parents need to carefully observe and give attention and emotional support to see what kind of physical or psychological problems he is experiencing; they also need to ask professional personnel for further diagnosis and analysis. Patient: What can be done to eliminate this psychology of his? A: Once the child truly understands what his inner needs are, the solution will come naturally.
