Conversion Disorder Project (restricted access) Conversion Disorder is a common problem in clinical neurology. In Motor Conversion Disorder there is partial or total paralysis of one or several body parts; the clinician judges that the symptom is involuntary and there is no evidence of conventional neurological pathology on examination or investigation. Although the diagnosis of Conversion Disorder should be made with care, recent studies indicate that the rate of misdiagnosis is low in contemporary practice. There must be some neurobiological explanation for paralysis seen in Conversion Disorder. At the very least there is a failure to activate cortical motor regions which directly drive movement. But whether this results from impaired activity in premotor centres, or via suppression of motor processing, is unclear. This question should be susceptible to study with functional imaging.

Abnormal Psychology Somatoform Disorders Somatization Disorder Hypochondriasis Pain Disorder Conversion Disorder ... Important Terms The Somatoform Disorders take on the form of the soma, or body. All are characterized by somatic complaints without physical basis. In contrast to malingering and other forms of faking, for these persons the illnesses, pains, and physical complaints are believed rather than feigned. Somatization Disorder Somatization Disorder (Briquet's) was originally described by Briquet. Person with this disorder present with multiple complaints of physical ailments over a long period. These begin before age 30, are inadequately explained by independent physical findings and that lead to medical treatment or significant life impairment. The complaints are are typically dramatic and significant; hence, they often lead to major medical intervention, such as surgeries. When performed these interventions tend to lead to a conclusion that no physical basis can be found. When doctors refuse treatment these person tend to "doctor shop" until they find someone new who will listen to their complaints. Diagnosis requires reporting of symptoms in four categories: Pain Gastrointestinal Sexual Pseudoneurological Caution should be used in assuming that no physical basis underlies complaints for these persons. Follow-up studies have shown that for a significant number of Briquet's patients some basis for a portion of their complaints may later be found.

Somatoform and Factitious Disorders Review of Psychiatry, Volume 20 Edited by Katharine A. Philips, M.D. READ IT ONLINE - FREE! The application is only available in PDF Format - Click here to download the PDF Acrobat viewer Beset by contradictions, somatoform and factitious disorders have an unusually long, rich, and colorful historical and clinical tradition. Yet, some of them have received only limited empirical investigation. This book continues that rich tradition by offering a broad and scholarly synthesis of the current knowledge-and controversies-about somatoform and factitious disorders. Here you'll find up-to-date, clinically focused overviews of these intriguing and often difficult-to-treat disorders. Recognized experts present the latest findings along with insightful recommendations and illustrative case studies on Somatization disorder -The evolution and problems of diagnostic criteria (e.g., its focus on symptom counting), epidemiology, clinical features, etiologic considerations, differential diagnosis (e.g., contrasted with depressive and anxiety disorders), evaluation (use of questionnaires), and treatment considerations (psychotherapy, psychotropic medications). Hypochondriasis -History, clinical features, theoretical models (psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and physiologic), research studies, and practical techniques for treatment (from pharmacotherapy to cognitive behavioral therapy to alternative treatments such as relaxation therapy).

It is one of the general class of Somatoform disorders. Causes and Risks 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.

These people are not "lying" about or making up their illness; they believe that they are truly sick. Causes and Risks There is no specific cause, but stress or conflict may underlie the illness. The pain may have a special significance or may serve as a way to receive attention. People with this disorder may receive attention, sympathy or relief from responsibilities from others, or financial compensation from disability that may sustain the pain and behavior. Usually there is an anatomical change within the body as a result of disease or injury that is irreversible because multiple interventions to relieve the pain or abnormality have been unsuccessful. Chronic anxiety and depression may develop, with a corresponding decrease in the pain threshold.

Special Topics Conversion disorder Alternative Names hysterical conversion Definition 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.

Home Page Tests and Quizzes Psychiatric Disorders Self-Help Articles ... Body Dysmorphic Disorder Somatization Disorder Etiology: The exact cause of this disorder is unknown. Research has shown some evidence for genetic as well as environmental factors may play a role. Symptomatology: Includes a history of physical complaints prior to age 30 which occur over a period of several years. There must be a significant impairment in functioning or a history of resulting medical treatment. After appropriate assessment by a physician, there is a lack of explanation for the reported symptoms or for at least the severity of the complaints. Treatment: Treatment typically includes long term therapy. The involvement of a single physician is important as a history of seeking medical attention and ‘doctor shopping’ is common. Prognosis: Is typically a chronic condition with a variable course. Individuals with this disorder do not experience any significant difference in mortality rate or significant illness. Conversion Disorder Etiology: Two schools of though prevail in the etiology of this disorder. One is the psychoanalytic theory which posits that unconscious conflicts cause the ‘conversion’ of this conflict into physical symptoms. The other suggests that a disturbance in the central nervous system results in this disorder, but neither theory has shown strong statistical evidence.
