I think psychosymatic illnesses are real and can look like almost any disease.
What is this based on? Or in other words if they look like another disease, how do you know it is not that disease?

...others out there don't need some kind of psychological help which will alleviate their symptoms.
Who are those others and why do you think they are different from you?
what kind of psychological help and how does it alleviate their symptoms?
How do you differentiate between a patient with a "real" illness (even cancer) who does better with emotional support and a patient with a "non-real" illness who does better with emotional support?

How exactly do you rule out everything?
