I think the balance lies in between. I find it insulting to hear that it is all in my head because the pain is real: It is even more insulting to tell me this without doing any sort of testing whatsoever. If, after medical testing, they still don't know what it is - or if my ailment is often stress related - I don't mind trying different things, including mental health options - to take care of it all.
After all, this is why a competent mental health professional will do medical testing and MRI's and other such things so that they can rule out a physical reason for a psychological problem. Depression and anxiety can be caused by hormones, after all, and psychosis of different sorts can be a tumor.
