The WHO constitution states:"Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity."
Ayurveda talks about Aachar (Behaviour), Vichar (Thoughts) before Ahaaar (Food) & Vihaar (Exercise, Sleep) as pillars of Holistic Health.
Yama (moral discipline),
Niyama (observances) are first two limbs from the Eight Limbs of Yog.
So by putting all principles together here is a writeup that tries to explain how the state of mind and state of body are reasons and results of each other.
Every Thought has Emotions and Emotions vibrate Energy. Reflection of thinking thereby our Emotions towards Money (we earn & spend), towards People (inner circle as well as outer circle), towards Work (As a student, as a homemaker as well as a professional) and towards self is seen on Our Physical Health.
Unhealthy Emotions like....Having Jealousy, Insecurity, Fear, Pain, Comparison, Competition, Anger, Possesiveness, Untruthful, Ego with people around.
Being Stingy, Geedy, Mindless towards Money.
Having lack of confidence, Greed, Doubt, Unhappiness, Indesciplined towards Work we do. And unhealthy relationships with self like low self-esteem, guilt, painful past memories...
These emotions create an unhealthy energy flow inside (prana through nadis) and outside our body (aura) . These energy blockages, blocks Energy Chakra (seven chakras where nadis meet).
In modern medicine they are our endocrine system, which controls all our body systems like Digestive, Excretory, Reproductive, Cardiovascular, Musculoskeletal, Nervous and Immunity.
Energy blocks at chakras therefore also responsible for dysfunctioning one or more of these system functions.
In yogic philosophy from texts like PatanjaliPatanjali Yogsutra, Psychosomatic Disorders concept is explained on the same note where Mind Body Yog given prominence.

When we see disturbances at any of Somatic (Body) level ranging from even a smallest signs like acne to major signs like Hypothyroid, type 2 Diabetes, Obesity, PCOD, Arthritis....Also when we are unable to sleep on time, tend to wake up late, unable to control food cravings, having hunger pangs, feeling laziness that skips exercise...fear / inhibitions to adopt new healthy habits, having addictions like smoking, alcohol intake...Then, Only Diet & Exercise don't help.
We feel it's hereditary or nowadays it's common to have these ailments and think that they are the reason for getting other related dysfunctions as well as emotional imbalances.
E.g. Because of PCOD I have mood swings, because of hypothyroidism I'm short tempered, because of Diabetes I get anxious, etc.
And unaware to see them as results of emotional distress and then get caught into its vicious cycle of Psychosomatic Disorder / Syndrome.

And then releasing them through supreme knowledge guidance & counseling will start improving our emotional wellbeing and we feel healthy inside out.
