Shakespeare is simply fantastic; his works contain a higher philosophy and wisdom.

Psychosomatic illnesses were first identified explicitly by ancient Egyptian physicians. The concept of hysteria arose there. Really. What Shakespeare knew was probably common folk wisdom.

Shakespeare is quite realistic about physical symptoms of emotional disturbance. That’s not usually what we think of when we think of a doctor saying “It’s all in your head.” Most people know the literal headaches and stomach churning of worry, for example, and they will usually recognize the link. Some people have masked emotions and for them it is harder to see a link.

Shakespeare was also a knowledgeable herbalist. Just check out Ophelia’s mad scene.

No, you guys don’t get what’s going on here. Hidden agenda. Attribute all symptoms to psychosomatic illness, and you don’t have to pay for expensive diagnostic testing for organic disease. You can’t diagnose psychiatric disease w/o ruling out a physiological or anatomical/structural etiology unless you want to get sued or unless you are granted immunity in a government health care system.
But, by all means, brush up on Shakespeare.

They could start with Shakespeare’s advice as to what to do with all of the lawyers.
