'''Stress Illness:''' Dr. Dave Clarke has coined the phrase Stress Illness to diagnose conditions that are chronic and caused by psychological factors of stress and the repression of emotions. Clarke argues that there are five different kinds of stress that create physical symptoms such as childhood, current, traumatic, depression and anxiety disorders. Clarke argues that other names such as psychosomatic and somatoform disorder suggest that the patient's symptoms are either not real or are part of a psychological disorder instead of being cause by stress. Clarke writes "Sufferers are often unaware of the nature or degree of the stress that makes them ill. Symptoms can occur anywhere in the body and can be just as severe as symptoms caused by any other disease, but x-rays and blood tests cannot detect the cause." [Clarke, Dave. ''[[They Can't Find Anything Wrong|They Can%27t Find Anything Wrong]]''. Boulder: First Sentient Publications. 2007.]
'''Psychophysiologic Disorder (PPD):''' The [[Psychophysiologic Disorders Association]], which has had several of Dr. Sarno's most trusted colleagues on its board, suggests the term Psychophysiologic disorders to refer to TMS. Some information about their process for choosing this term can be found in [[Why PPD?]].
