In validation of the mind-body connection, Morrison (Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center; Coatesville, PA) compiles a diagnostic directory of medical conditions which may directly produce psychological symptoms sometimes even as antecedents to the physical manifestations of such disorders as cardiac arrhythmias and Lyme disease.
