Specific Aspects of Mental Disorders in Functional Disorders of the Gastrointestinal Tract

Abstract

According to the results of epidemiological studies, somatogenic, psychogenic or mental disorders occur in almost half of tumor patients. Such combined forms of diseases require a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and treatment with the participation of an oncologist, a psychiatrist, and a psychotherapist. In practice, the consultation of a psychiatrist in an oncology clinic is aimed at providing emergency care to patients with specific mental disorders - it is aimed at preventing somatogenic, reactive effects. Borderline disorders are often underdiagnosed and require individual attention.
