Conversion Disorder Diagnosis & Tests

Some of the common signs of conversion disorder include:

The sudden onset of a debilitating symptom
A history of a recent psychological conflict that is resolved through the development of the symptom
A lack of concern that is usually associated with a severe symptom

A physical examination is performed to rule out physical causes for the loss of function. Specific diagnostic testing related to the symptom is warranted to rule out a physical cause.
