Abstract :

This is a study on the assessment of psychosomatic symptoms experienced by Higher Secondary school students. Using Dr. Hemalatha Natesan’s Case Study Schedule, data was collected regarding the predominant psychosomatic symptoms experienced by the higher secondary students at two higher secondary schools (one Government and one Private). This study revealed that an average of two to three psychosomatic symptoms were present among the sample. It was also observed that the average number of symptoms found among Government school students were only two whereas, it was three to four among the private school students. The most reported symptom was Confusion (42%), followed by Head Ache (38%). The least inferred symptom was Loss of Appetite (3%), followed by Chest Pain (7%).
