Somatopsychic is an adjective that means related to the body’s effect on the mind.
The Greek word soma (SOMA) means ‘soul,’ while psyche (SY key) means ‘mind.’ When combined into our word of the day, we get a word that describes how physical health can affect emotional states. Here’s an example of it in use:
At first I thought my upbeat moods were just a result of being a generally energetic person, but after looking into things from a somotopsychic perspective, I’ve come to see that my moods tend to get better after I’ve been working out for a few hours.
