I wonder what kind of personality combination (patient and physician) creates a situation more conducive to a psychosomatic diagnosis?
I have often questioned whether there is something in the way I come across that leads physicians to think this, rather than something else. I'd be really interested to know, if that is the case, what it is.
I agree with you that there may be a certain cultural bias towards dishing out a psychosomatic diagnosis. Certainly when I was in Iceland no doctor for a second suggested my symptoms were psychosomatic. It's just unfortunate it would have cost me the price of a house to receive assessment and treatment there.
