Somatoform Disorders Topics [General] Somatization Disorder Conversion Disorder Hypochondriasis ... Body Dysmorphic Disorder Conversion Disorder Physical symptoms caused by psychologic conflict, unconsciously converted to resemble those of a neurologic disorder. Conversion disorder tends to develop during adolescence or early adulthood but may occur at any age. It appears to be somewhat more common among women. Isolated conversion symptoms that do not fully meet the criteria of a conversion disorder or a somatization disorder are commonly seen in nonpsychiatric medical practices (see Physical Symptoms Reflecting Psychic States in Ch. 185). Symptoms and Diagnosis By definition, symptoms develop unconsciously and are limited to those that suggest a neurologic disorderusually impaired coordination or balance, weakness, or paralysis of an arm or a leg or loss of sensation in part of the body. Other symptoms include simulated convulsions; loss of one of the special senses, such as vision (blindness, double vision) or hearing (deafness); aphonia; difficulty in swallowing; sensation of a lump in the throat; and urinary retention. Generally, onset of symptoms is linked to a socially or psychologically stressful event. The symptom must be clinically significant; ie, it must be distressing enough to disrupt the patient's social, occupational, or other important area of functioning. A patient may have a single episode or sporadic ones; usually, episodes are brief. When hospitalized, patients with conversion symptoms generally improve within 2 wk; however, 20 to 25% have recurrences within a year, and in some, symptoms become chronic.

Conversion Disorder This article submitted by Sarah on 10/29/96. Author's Email: I was recently "diagnosed with conversion disorder, where they think mental anxiety or whatever somehow turns into physical symptoms. Has anyone ever had any experience with this? How is it treated? If symptoms are every "subconsciously self-induced", how are they ever "un-induced"? My symptoms (much like MS symptoms) are very real, and the weakness and balance problems are almost disabling. I can no longer drive or walk around without falling, yet the doctors can't seem to find any answers (either that, or they are all reading from different textbooks and come up with different possibilities but no definite answers). My husband and I get the very distinct feeling that this is more a diagnosis of exclusion than anything, that they just don't want to deal with it. I realize the mind and the body are very connected, but I also KNOW these problems are not all in my head. Please share your experiences with me. Thanks.

Healthinmind Mental Health Disorders Somatoform Disorders Conversion Disorder Conversion Disorder (CD) typically involves only a single dramatic symptom that arises immediately or soon after a major traumatic event. CD was called "hysteria" in earlier times, and was thought to occur almost exclusively in women. The word "hysteria," which was derived from the Greek word for wandering uterus, reflected this feminine connection. The disorder is diagnosed less frequently in our more sophisticated era. Freud based his initial version of psychoanalysis on a case of hysteria, that of "Anna O.," who developed a series of conversion symptoms connected with the death of her father. The idea behind the name "CD" is that a psychological problem is converted into a physical symptom. Some symptoms include blindness or partial blindness, deafness, paralysis, and numbness. Before CD is diagnosed, a careful physical examination is needed. The evidence that a significant psychological stressor brought on the disorder should be strong. In some cases the symptom is inconsistent with a physical explanation; the classical case is that of "glove anesthesia," wherein the pattern of numbness is inconsistent with the distribution of nerves. Males and females are about equally likely to be diagnosed with CD. The stresses of war produce some of the cases in males. In many cases of CD some benefits flow from the symptom; for example, a soldier cannot fire a gun if his dominant hand is paralyzed. Most cases of CD resolve themselves in a period of weeks to months. If they do not, the patient should be reevaluated very carefully to be certain that a physical cause, after all, did not bring about the problem. However, the usual therapy is support and reassurance while waiting for spontaneous remission.

conversion disorder By Michael Johnson, MD A conversion disorder is a condition in which a person develops certain physical symptoms, such as paralysis or visual impairment , in response to severe psychological stress. No physical cause can be found for these symptoms. What is going on in the body? This disorder occurs most often among people 10 to 35 years old. Among older people, there is a much greater chance that unexplained symptoms are caused by a medical problem. Usually, the disorder lasts only for a few weeks or months. During that time, a person may be unable to work or even carry out daily activities. Conversion disorder is not thought to make a person more vulnerable to real health problems. Many people who suffer conversion symptoms have medical problems as well. What are the signs and symptoms of the condition? This disorder starts suddenly. Its signs and symptoms may include: paralysis of an arm or leg visual impairment , or blindness inability to speak hearing impairment , or deafness seizures falling down numbness visual changes , such as double vision difficulty swallowing severe trembling What are the causes and risks of the condition?

Diagnostic Criteria for Conversion Disorder One or more symptoms or deficits affecting voluntary motor or sensory function that suggest a neurological or other general medical condition. Psychological factors are judged to be associated with the symptom or deficit because the initiation or exacerbation of the symptom or deficit is preceded by conflicts or other stressors. The symptom or deficit is not intentionally produced or feigned (as in Factitious Disorder or Malingering). The symptom or deficit cannot, after appropriate investigation, be fully explained by a general medical condition, or by the direct effects of a substance, or as a culturally sanctioned behavior or experience. The symptom or deficit causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation. The symptom or deficit is not limited to pain or sexual dysfunction, does not occur exclusively during the course of the Somatization Disorder, and is not better accounted for by another mental disorder.

PIDL Home/ Contents Development Nutrition Acute Illness ... Psychosocial Adolescent Medicine CONVERSION AND SOMATIZATION DISORDERS Conversion disorder is a loss or change in bodily functioning that results from a psychological conflict or need . The bodily symptoms cannot be explained by any known medical disorder or pathophysiological mechanism. Symptoms of pain or sexual dysfunction are specifically excluded. Such patients are not conscious of the psychological basis for their symptoms and therefore cannot control their disturbances. Conversion reaction in children had been described also as a form of "body language", a plea for help in a child who has no alternative method of communicating stress and therefore, conversion reaction doesn't usually indicate a major psychiatric disorder. The diagnosis depends on a determination of etiology: the psychological factors must be judged to be causative, as evidenced by the presence of primary or secondary gain. In primary gain, the conversion symptom alleviates psychic distress. Whereas, in secondary gain, the formation of the symptoms enables the patients to avoid difficult situations or to obtain support that might not otherwise be provided. Several theories have been proposed to explain the etiology of conversion reaction. According to the psychoanalytic theory, conversion is caused by the anxiety of the unconscious intrapsychic conflict. Another etiology suggests that conversion disorder is a nonverbal interpersonal communication, employed when direct verbal statement is not possible. It is an acceptable way of telling important others that their relationship is in danger or that he or she is in pain, is suffering, and is in need of special consideration and special treatment. It also may function as a nonverbal means of controlling or manipulating others. Some believe that conversion reaction may have a neuropsychological basis.
