Definition/Description[edit | edit source]
Conversion disorder is a rare psychodynamic occurrence that consists if the physical expression of an unconscious conflict or stress in a person’s life [1]. This physical expression is characterized by the presentation of signs and symptoms that are inconsistent or cannot be explained by known anatomy or physiology (DSM IV).
Patients that fall under this presentation, however, should not be confused with malingerers or categorized as someone feigning an illness. This population is not intentionally simulating symptoms but is genuinely experiencing them. Symptom presentation consists of the patient’s conception of a particular disease process therefore their presentation will not follow typical or expected patterns, such as dermatome or myotome changes. The physical therapist should carefully document these changes in order to recognize these indescrepencies. [1]( DSM IV)
Conversion disorder is also known as “hysterical neurosis” , “conversion type”. ( DSM IV), or “functional neurological symptom disorder” [2].
