B (psycho = mind; soma = body)

People with psychosomatic symptoms genuinely feel ill (are neither feigning their symptoms, nor is there an underlying physiological cause).

B. A psychosomatic illness means you are so afraid of becoming ill that you actually do become ill. If stress makes you ill or exacerbates a health issue, that is a psychosomatic disorder.

b. Psychosomatic illness refers to very real aches and pains that are caused by mental stress. People aren’t “faking;” they really don’t feel well. However, their illness is not physical; it’s brought on by their minds.
