Hey everyone! Feel free to check out my new blog about psychosomatic symptoms and most importantly--how to help kids and teens overcome them.

In case you didn't know--psychosomatic symptoms are when psychological factors lead to or exacerbate physical symptoms. We sometimes refer to psychosomatic symptoms as functional concerns, pseudo seizures, and functional neurological symptom disorder.

Common psychosomatic complaints include:

Headaches
Passing out/dizziness
Limb immobility
Stomachaches or gastrointestinal issues (like nausea, diarrhea, or constipation)
Muscle tension or pain
Chest pain or difficulty breathing
Sweating, tremors, or palpitations

Feel free to reach out with any questions! The Bluebird crew is always happy to help support :)
