Topic
Anxiety and depression symptoms are often unrecognised and left without therapy as doctors usually focus on somatic problems. Somatization - a common set of functional somatic symptoms -poses a diagnostic challenge for the physician. This course overviews the features and therapeutic approaches of these problems in general practice. Presenting the interaction of affective conditions and biological diseases, offers a behavioural concept in the medical practice.
