You will discover the relationship between neuropsychological factors and Dysphagia, thanks to this postgraduate certificate"

Psychogenic Dysphagia is a rare swallowing disorder that is not due to physical or structural causes, but rather to psychological and emotional factors. Unlike the pathology caused by physical problems in the digestive system, the psychogenic one originates in the mind and may be associated with anxiety disorders, depression or stress. Symptoms can range from a feeling of obstruction in the throat to a total inability to swallow, which can have a significant impact on the quality of life and nutrition of sufferers.

Diagnosis of this pathology can be challenging, as it relies on ruling out other organic causes and identifying underlying psychological factors. For this reason, a thorough assessment that considers both physical and psychiatric aspects is essential to reach an accurate diagnosis. 

Consequently, treatment of this condition focuses on addressing the factors that contribute to the disorder. This involves the use of psychological therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, to work on the dysfunctional thought patterns and behaviors related to Dysphagia. In addition, relaxation and stress management techniques can be used to reduce anxiety and improve swallowing function. 

To achieve this goal, a postgraduate certificate in Psychogenic Dysphagia has been developed, which is presented in a completely virtual format, with first class resources. All this is gathered in a digital library accessible anytime, anywhere, without limitations. This methodology, together with the implementation of the Relearning approach developed by TECH, will ensure that the student acquires knowledge more effectively and with excellent results, minimizing their effort.
