title: [Psychosomatic disorders of the gastrointestinaltract (author's transl)].
abstract: The difficulty of the diagnosis of psychosomatic disorders is known to be lying in the shortage of time, the inadequate training of physicians and in the similarity of psychosomatic symptoms are compared to those of solely organic diseases. The irritable stomach-even with hyperacidity--and the irritable colon with constipation or diarrhea are among the most frequent disorders caused by psychosomatic mechanisms. The duodenal ulcer and the ulcerative colitis belong to the true somatopsychic and psychosomatic diseases. Precise organic (diagnostic) clarification and differentiated drug therapy are necessary in addition to psychotherapeutic measures.
