I see brain as anatomy and mind as physiology, just as, for example, lungs as anatomy and breathing as physiology.
Both of them originate from anatomy. I think if we cure anatomic disorders, physiological and psychological disorders will be cured.
I agree with you Dr.Stephens.

Thank you Dr Aghakhani for your insightful comments. My own take is, so to speak, hypothetical, but it would be invigorating to have a discussion on the status of psychosomatic disorder as a valid descriptor. I am concerned that some patients who present with physical symptoms (e.g., chest pain) are almost ´dismissed,´ as it were, with the admonition: ´Oh, it´s just in your mind; it´s psychosomatic.´ Paul

So do I. Artifical compartmalization fails to capture the bigger picture. I think we will become more holistic as research development continues to discover new truths. Having said that, I suspect that the brain, in its current developmental stage, has to delineate subject domains because it is unable yet to make cognitive sense of complex realities. One day perhaps, we will indeed discover a Theory of Everything. Paul
There are lots of textbooks on psychosomatic medicine, like the one from it s "founder" Thure von Uexküll, who had the chair in Ulm University. There you can get all the specified answers. Good luck
