Abstract

Psychosomatic medicine focuses on exploring the interactions of biological, psychological, and social factors in regulating the balance between health and disease. Recent shifts in disease spectra and medical models have contributed to the heightened prevalence and burden of psychosomatic diseases, posing new challenges to the contemporary health-care system. Consequently, there has been an imperative drive toward intensified research in psychosomatic medicine. Neuroscience methodologies have been widely applied in the research of psychosomatic diseases, facilitating the exploration of underlying causal mechanisms of psychosomatic diseases and the examination of correlations between brain function, specific organ systems, and clinical manifestations. This article offers a review of the contemporary research developments in 2023 regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and intervention strategies for psychosomatic diseases, approached from various systemic perspectives. Drawing upon these insights, it offers an outlook on the future of psychosomatic medicine, aiming to enhance the integration of body–mind to clinical practice for the management of psychosomatic diseases.
