Psychogeny (psycho - soul, related to the soul, genea - generation, birth) is a painful condition in the form of a short-term reaction or a long-term state (disease) that occurs under the influence of factors that injure the psyche (psychotrauma). According to its clinical manifestations, psychogeny can manifest itself as mental disorders at the neurotic level - neuroses (neuroses and somatoform disorders) and at the psychotic level - reactions to stress (reactive psychoses ), as well as in the form of manifestations of somatic suffering - psychosomatic variants of somatic diseases. Psychotrauma is understood as a traumatic, emotionally negatively colored experience of the psyche associated with some life event (event, situation) that has subjective personal significance (emotional significance). In some cases, psychotraumatic life events (events, situations) can act as leading etiological factors (producing factor), in others - as etiological conditions (predisposition, manifestation and supporting factor). Often their combination plays a pathogenic role.
