> Thank you for your summary. The reason that I asked was because I have had many problems which could be thought of as anxiety-induced conversion disorders eg. severe nausea and vomiting at mealtimes, muscle stiffness that made it impossible to write, difficulty speaking etc.They definately could be though of as conversion disorders or more likely some other disorder within the DSM classifications called somatiform disorders.
The most common kind of conversion disorder is a pseudo-seizure, very real seizure like conditions but with the absence of any organic condition. Some views of conversion or somatiform disorders may say that the person is aware or the like leading one to conclude that its hysteria or malingering but in general it can be very disturbing for the person and hard to change from what I understand.
