And if my approach leads to missing a few patients who have "unexplained" symptoms which could successfully be treated with CBT and depriving them from that treatment-be it.

I did send an email to an MG specialist over here asking whether medical professionals could actually determine that specific MG symptoms were driven by psychosomatic processes alone, and if so, how they could be certain of those findings.......In a nutshell, they didn´t know enough about this yet and it was a challenge in general.
I was actually grateful to receive an answer

(Somehow, I can imagine you working like a medical detective on a set of perplexing symptoms like clues to solving the most´unsolvable´mysterious cases that somehow some may have overlooked because they seemed´irrelevant´- or that it was simply time for them to go home for the day!)
But by the same token, I can´t quite believe that
too many CBT patients would have been worse for wear.......
Because I think somehow, with your approach, you would have intercepted those as well!
