Abstract

The viscero-vegetative manifestations of anxiety and depression that dominate the clinical picture, imitating to a certain extent various organic diseases, sometimes cannot help but mislead the practitioner. Complaints of pain clearly localized around a specific organ (the object of the patient’s hypochondriacal fixation), and the extreme similarity of such complaints, which do not go “beyond the possible,†with the usual symptoms of somatic suffering almost inevitably direct the diagnostic search along the wrong path. Somatic disorders in such cases are sometimes so significant that even a psychiatrist does not recognize the depression that is sometimes veiled by them during a single consultation with the patient.
