1-2. The answer is d.Conversion disorder is characterized by the sudden appearance of one or more symptoms simulating an acute neurological illness in the context of severe psychological stress. The symptoms with which conversion disorder manifests conform
to the patient™s own understanding of the medical condition and are not associated with the usual diagnostic signs. Contrary to malingering and factitious disorder, conversion disorder is nonvolitional. Conversion disorder is more frequent in women, with a female-to-male ratio of 2“5 to 1. In childhood, both sexes are equally represented. Prevalence is highest in
rural areas and among the underprivileged, the undereducated, and the cognitively delayed. The sudden onset and the temporal relation to a severe stress help differentiate conversion disorder from more chronic conditions such as somatization disorder and personality disorders.
