CONCEALMENT OF PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS BY SOMATIC EXPRESSION

Abstract

It should first be remembered that expertise constitutes
one of the four legitimacies of medicine that are
research, prevention, expertise and care. Care
revolves around clinical thought as it has been
developed in the 18th century and as embodied in
19th century during the rise of medicine and
construction of modern hospitals. The development of segments of the medical profession, popularized under the term of medical specialties, is supported by a scientific approach called
clinical approach, consisting in transforming
complaints (from lay patients) in signs, grouped
secondly in a syndrome linked to a
pathophysiology, which finds its source in one or
several etiologies, which can be treated with
tools specific to the pathology in question. This
clinical approach also confers a prognosis
the pathology in question is a medical prediction concerning the future development of the condition of
patient, and the possible chances of recovery. Healing is then defined by the disappearance of symptoms
associated with the disappearance and / or scarring of
lesions, while all treatment has been discontinued, and
beyond a more global healing which would include
ad integrum restitution of lesions and the disappearance of
any sign, whether functional, biological or anatomical.
