This reminds me of when “hysteria” was a common psychiatric diagnosis, many psychiatrists at that time conceptualized the condition as a conversion of emotional states being expressed through somatic complaints. It’s interesting to me that, although men are more often said to express emotional complaints through complaints about their bodies, women were almost exclusively diagnosed with hysteria.
It is an interesting hypothesis, and I know I considered it when i was actively trying to figure out my own problems. I’m not sure how much of it is valid, but it might be worth exploring.
