Indeed. What if your body harbors some dormant weakness that originates in some old injury or some unfortunate genes? And so what if it was your divorce that was the last straw, and now that weakness has manifested and is now a Real Problem? Ok doctor, I also wish I wasn't getting divorced and no shit that was stressful, but the resulting digestive/auto-immune/neurological condition that it triggered is real, and that's why I'm here.
I sometimes have the feeling that if doctors can in some plausible way blame any non-simple affliction on stress, that's their ticket to victim blame, recommend yoga, and call it a day.
