| Summary: | Over the years, the number of researches and studies focused on psychosomatic diseases are greater and, each time, but based on scientific input. These studies are related to emotions, feelings and thoughts that may be out of balance with several factors, such as traumatic experiences, somatizations and episodes of stress. Renowned authors, such as Sigmund Freud(1956 –1939)and contemporaries like Mello Filho, identified that the body can become ill as a result of emotional problems, since the organism is constituted by a partnership between mind-body that interact with cultural, social and environmental factors. These diseases are the result of harmonic imbalance or deregulation of the fields of the mind, body and external environment. This article aimed, through bibliographic and descriptive research, to present the manifestation of psychosomatic symptoms, relating stress to work activities and proposing ways to combat this type of illness. We observed that psychosomatic illnesses can be linked to stress arising from the work environment, causing physical symptoms, including nausea, insomnia, flu, migraine allergies, sweating, among others. However, we understand that a cultural and social change in the way we look at the worker is necessary, factors that imply strategies and organizational alternatives that seek to avoid and alleviate these symptoms. Daily activities carried out by the institutions, as alternatives for the individual to understand the meaning of their work, to be calm and satisfied with their functions,as well,as with the challenges inherent to work, can help in minimizing psychosomatic symptoms.
