The word "psychosomatic" in Russia sounds ominously: anything that has a root "psycho", our fellow citizens alarmed and repelled. In the West long ago ceased to be afraid of these roots. There's quite calmly talk about psychosomatic component in the disease, and general practitioner often sends the patient to consult a therapist. It is common practice.

How to get rid of this fear? Here every way their own. Someone calm myself that without the will of God no one hair falls from his head.
