Scope of the seminar:
Modern life is full of hassles, deadlines, frustrations, and demands. For many people,

or

A psychosomatic disorder is a disease which
involves both mind and body. Some physical diseases are thought to be particularly
prone to be made worse by mental factors such as stress and anxiety.
psychosomatic disorder, also called Psychophysiologic Disorder, condition in
which psychological stresses adversely affect physiological (somatic) functioning to
the point of distress. It is a condition of dysfunction or structural damage in bodily
organs through inappropriate activation of the involuntary nervous system and the
glands of internal secretion. Thus, the psychosomatic symptom emerges as a
physiological concomitant of an emotional state. specific personality traits and
specific conflicts may create particular psychosomatic illnesses, but it is generally
believed that the form a disorder takes is due to individual vulnerabilities.
Emotional stress is assumed to aggravate existing illnesses, and there is some
evidence that it may precipitate illnesses not usually considered to be psychosomatic
(e.g., cancer, diabetes) in individuals predisposed to them. Psychosomatic disorders
resulting from stress may include hypertension, respiratory ailments, gastrointestinal
disturbances, migraine and tension headaches, pelvic pain, impotence, frigidity,
dermatitis, and ulcers. ’s health, which in turn, influence and raise other issues like
infant mortality, reproductive health, child health, nutritional status, mental health,
etc. are interwoven with the several psychosocial variables which are of grave
relevance to the women’s existence in developing countries. In view of all these, it
is high time that we need to chart the future course of action leading to
sustainability of women health by refraining from stress and strain.
The proposed national seminar will provide a platform and an opportunity to
exchange the views and identify the priority areas of future research.
