Psychophysiologic Disorders (PPD) is the clinical term for mindbody symptoms, meaning symptoms that are caused by neural pathways that develop in response to stress, trauma, and repressed emotions. These learned neural pathways are anatomical changes in the brain, which means that the resulting symptoms are generated in the brain and not “in your head.” The symptoms are very real and can be chronic and debilitating, but the good news is they are also benign and curable!

Whether you’re a patient looking to recover or a health professional looking to better diagnose and treat your patients, these videos will help you learn more.
