We are aware that contemporary ways of life combined with fierce competition in every field in the absence of any support system including constricted families/real mentors/friends the stress levels are increasing. Stressors if not handled optimally, do lead to various somatic manifestations. Taboos, stigmas, unavailability of diagnostic services and non-existent clinical counselors and Psychiatrists in our country spread the fire. Now, we find that either family physicians or Internal medicine specialists are treating all such cases without any gainful results.

How long should they go on treating such patients without any real benefit to the patient? Is there any satisfaction to the treating those doctors as well? Share your views .
