The stresses of physical illness manifest as psychological reactions involving somatic symptoms (e.g., pain, dizziness, or fatigue), behavioral changes (e.g., acting out, nonadherence, or lifestyle alterations), emotional states (e.g., fear, sadness, or anxiety), and developmental challenges (e.g., incorporating medical information at different developmental stages). This chapter provides an overview of psychological reactions to physical illness, a differential diagnosis approach to these reactions, a review of selected childhood physical illnesses, and a summary of mental health interventions in children with physical illnesses.
