Why are diseases like EDS, fibromyalgia, and POTS considered psychosomatic by many doctors?

Health/Medical

I'm confused. Don't they have objective physical diagnostic criteria or family history? I'm not talking about people are self-diagnosed, but people who were actually diagnosed with them. I've seen doctors/health workers online say that they are psychological in nature and complain about patients that have them or think they have them.
