If the root psycho- means mind which does psychogenic mean?

You are absolutely right! The root "psycho-" does indeed mean "mind".

Psychogenic means originating in the mind. It refers to a condition or disorder that is caused by psychological factors rather than physical ones.

For example:

* Psychogenic pain: Pain that is caused by psychological factors, such as stress or anxiety.

* Psychogenic seizures: Seizures that are caused by psychological factors, such as emotional distress.

* Psychogenic amnesia: Loss of memory that is caused by psychological factors, such as trauma.
