Conversion Disorder involves experiencing one or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function—such as paralysis, weakness, or non-epileptic seizures—where clinical findings show an incompatibility between the symptom and recognized neurological or medical conditions. This is a complex mind-body condition that requires specialized clinical care.
Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:
- One or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function.
- Clinical findings provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognized neurological or medical conditions.
- The symptom or deficit is not better explained by another medical or mental disorder.
- The symptom or deficit causes clinically significant distress or impairment.
