Tıbben Açıklanamayan Belirtilerin Psikiyatrik Yönü

Abstract

Bedensel belirtileri için tıbbi açıklama bulunamayan hastalar genel tıp uygu-lamasında oldukça yaygındırlar. Bu hastalar, tüm sağlık hizmeti basmaklarını sıkça kullanırlar. Bu durum kendilerine sağlık hizmeti sunan hekimlerinde hayal kırıklığı yarattığı gibi hastalar da aldıkları tıbbi bakımdan pek memnun olmazlar. Tüm dünyada ve farklı kültürel gruplar arasında bedensel belirtiler toplumsal sorunların ve duygusal sıkıntının en yaygın bireysel ifadeleridir. Tıbben açıklanamayan belirtilere hasta grubunda depresyon ve anksiyete başta olmak üzere diğer psikiyatrik durumlar eşlik etmektedir. Bu gözden geçirme yazısında tıbben açıklanamayan belirtilere ve psikiyatrik belirtiler arasındaki ilişki incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır
