Conversion disorder
-
Conversion disorder consists of neurologic symptoms or deficits that develop unconsciously and nonvolitionally and usually involve motor or sensory function. The manifestations are incompatible with known pathophysiologic mechanisms or anatomic pathways. Onset, exacerbation, or maintenance of conversion symptoms is commonly attributed to mental factors, such as stress or trauma. Diagnosis is based on history after excluding physical disorders as the cause. Treatment begins by establishing a consistent, supportive physician-patient relationship; psychotherapy can help, as may hypnosis.
(See also Overview of Somatization.)
Conversion disorder is a form of somatization—the expression of mental phenomena as physical (somatic) symptoms.
Conversion disorder tends to develop during late childhood to early adulthood but may occur at any age. It is more common among women.
