Q. I really do not know If I am Borderline or I'm suffering of schizo-affective disorder or I am suffering of Conversion Disorder. I hope you can make things clear for me. My symptoms are: mood swings I feel depressed most of the day I feel irritable I love to be around people but in the same time I hate to be with them I feel stiffness, difficulty swallowing, difficulty walking I have moments when I feel in a trance like state I have moments when I loose touch with reality I have moments when I see black shadows or coloures ones I have moments when I hear voices A. . I cannot tell what you have, but see no harm in going after the symptoms. I would treat the symptoms as if they were depression/BPD related. If you are schizoaffective, there are not a lot of options differing from treating schizophrenia. My guess is that you have depersonalization/derealization (lose touch with reality), and brief psychotic episodes (hear voices). If you know the voices are internally driven or know they are not real, it is more in the BPD category. Talk to a good psychopharmacologist.

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.

Disease Injury Nutrition Poison ... Prevention Conversion disorder Definition: The conversion of emotional distress or unconscious conflict into a physical symptom. It is one of the general class of Somatoform disorders. Alternative Names: Hysterical neurosis Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The symptom onset of this disorder is usually very sudden and follows a stressful experience. The loss of function may symbolize the underlying conflict associated with it. Psychodynamic theory interprets the cause of the symptoms as a defense mechanism that absorbs and neutralizes the anxiety generated by an unacceptable impulse or wish. Risk factors include a history of histrionic personality disorder or dependent personality disorder Review Date: 5/18/2001 Reviewed By: Christos Ballas, M.D., Department of Psychiatry, University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, Philadelphia, PA.

Introduction Reproduction Pregnancy During Pregnancy ... Glossary A-Z Childhood Illness Bacteria Virus Cancer Gastrointestinal ... Mental Health External survey "Questionnaire on mood" conducted by the "IMSP- Faculty of Medicine - University of Geneva" Childhood Mental Health: Somatoform Disorders Description The somatoform disorders are a group of mental disturbances placed in a common category in DSM-IV on the basis of their external symptoms. The terms hypochondriasis and hysteria were traditionally designated to these disorders and are still widely used. Somatoform disorders in the DSM-IV are described as follows: The somatoform disorders are distinguished by physical symptoms suggesting a medical condition, yet the symptoms are not fully explained by the medical condition, by substance use, or by another mental disorder. The symptoms are severe enough to cause patients significant distress or impaired social, occupational, or other functioning. The physical symptoms of somatoform disorders are not intentionally produced as are those of factitious disorders and malingering, but no medical condition can fully explain the somatic symptoms.
