How is the condition diagnosed?
A conversion disorder may be suspected if a person suddenly has any of the symptoms listed above. The diagnosis is made if a recent, severe psychological stressor exists and no physical cause for the symptom can be found.
Even with careful evaluation, though, as many as 20% to 50% of people diagnosed with this disorder are eventually found to have a physical cause for their symptoms.
