  2. Psychogenic Pain Disorder Your mind can cause pain that is not caused by a physical source or any preexisting pain , it can increase or linger for a long time. This is referred to as psychogenic pain. This occurs when the pain is related to any psychological, emotional, or behavioral factors. Headache, back pain, or stomach pain are the most common types of psychogenic pain. It may occur in people suffering with a mental disorder. It is accompanied or is induced by social rejection, broken heart, grief, or other such emotional events. People suffering with a psychogenic pain disorder complain of pain that does not match their symptoms. Psychogenic pain is not usually used as it is based on inability to find any medical condition causing the pain. It is now known to doctors that chronic pains are caused due to changes in the nervous system instead of an illness or damage to the body. Thus, the normal tests and exams are no longer considered as evidence of the pain caused by psychological factors.

  3. Symptoms of Psychogenic Pain Disorder The pains can range from mild to severe and intensify as dull or sharp. Psychogenic pain causes the following symptoms:    Constant discomfort even after taking medication    Difficulty identifying the location, quality and depth of pain    Non-localized pains that cover larger parts of the body    Worsening of the pain without any underlying medical condition. If there is no physical condition that causes the chronic pain, it is diagnosed as psychogenic pain.

  4. Treatment of Psychogenic Pain Disorder Psychotherapy - Pain could alter the personality, disrupt sleep, and interfere with work and relationships.
