In this article, the term psychosomatic is used in relation to symptoms in which psychosocial factors play a major role. We particularly dwell on the symptoms for which organic data is not available or negligible. Nevertheless, it is important to recognize that stress and other psychosocial factors can exacerbate conditions such as diabetes, are associated with known organic diseases. And that adolescents with organic disease may have an additional life stress as a result of these conditions. The presence of defined organic lesion does not exclude the possibility that a teenager can experience significant levels of stress and that this stress may influence the course of the disease. Stress Stress can be defined as the requirement to adapt and overcome the difficulties usually in response to changing conditions of life. If the demand exceeds the ability to change and the resources that are manifested adverse effects of stress such as physical symptoms. Today, young people feel like normal stresses associated with adolescent development (physical change) as well as with unexpected stressful life events (breaking ties) that require adaptation and confront challenges. Both types of stressors should be considered when evaluating and maintaining. Relationship of stress with physical symptoms of stress components in health and disease, life stress, scores of empirical studies found a significant association between stressful life events and somatic symptoms of adolescents. Eg. among patients attending a clinic for adolescents, the greater number of stressful life events reported adolescents with functional somatic symptoms (head pain or rekurentnaya Abd-onal pain) than those suffering from certain organic diseases. Also, in another study adolescents, patients with high stress levels far exceed the number of psycho-physiological symptoms of those who have lower levels of stress. Other studies have found that greater stress implies the existence of adolescent symptom recurrence of abdominal pain. Life stress is also associated with psychosomatic smptomami among adolescents enrolled in school. Thus, there is considerable evidence linking stress with somatic symptoms in adolescents. Affect or emotional state of life stress may be associated not only with somatic symptoms but also with emotional distress. For example, agitation and depression often coexist with psychosomatic symptoms. Adolescents with recurrent pain developed without any connection to the medical data are characterized by levels of excitation and depression are higher than those of control subjects. It is important to take into account the context in which stress is transferred. Several factors determine the impact of stress on health and well being of adolescents. These include determining individual social resources.
