Psychogenic Movement Disorder
Psychogenic Movement Disorder is a condition where a person experiences abnormal movements that are not caused by any physical illness. These movements can include tremors, jerks, or even difficulty walking. Unlike other movement disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, the symptoms are often linked to psychological factors, such as stress or trauma.
People with this disorder may find that their symptoms improve when they are distracted or focused on something else. Treatment often involves therapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, to address the underlying psychological issues. Understanding and support from family and friends can also play a crucial role in recovery.
