Answer:

Psychological difficulties that take on a physical form but for which there is no medical cause are called "somatofom disorders".

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this answer we have to recall a very basic psychological icon and his studies. But first, we have to explain the concept "somatoform disorders" are a certain type of psychological disorder in which the body reacts somatically to a certain mental illness condition. In other words, distress, pain, sadness, anxiety and many other psychological conditions affect the body because our body translates the mental health status to our body. This was the main reason S. Freud studied hysteria, because his patients were blind, deft, or had lost body mobility. The somatized their mental health conditions.
