conversion disorder
Conversion disorder is a mental health condition where a person experiences physical symptoms that cannot be explained by medical conditions. These symptoms can include weakness, paralysis, or abnormal movements, and they often arise after a stressful event or trauma. The symptoms are real and can significantly impact daily life, but they do not have a clear medical cause.
Diagnosis of conversion disorder typically involves ruling out other medical issues through tests and evaluations. Treatment often includes psychotherapy, physical therapy, and addressing any underlying psychological factors. Understanding and support from healthcare providers are essential for recovery.
