How important is accepting the mind-body connection in order to recover?

Dr. David Clarke recognizes there is debate about whether people need to fully embrace the idea they have a mind-body condition or a stress-related illness in order to make any progress.

Dr. Clarke believes it is not necessary to draw a firm conclusion about that. It is okay to wonder if you have got a possibility of an organ disease or a structural abnormality.

If you are worried about that, continue to work with your medical clinicians to exclude those possibilities whenever they come up.
