Absolutely agree with this. There are many cases where an individual struggling with post traumatic stress exhibits physical symptoms. Headaches, digestive issues, and weight gain are a few examples of physical issues that are common in people who have unresolved trauma. Memory issues are also strongly linked with trauma.
- Psychological problems can cause physical symptoms. E.g. palpitations, abdominal pain, etc.
- Psychological problems can cause physical illness. E.g. non-epileptic attacks (already mentioned in this thread), chronic pain disorders etc.
