I'm not sure what the treatment is for conversion disorder - I would guess antianxiety and antidepressant meds and trying to find whats at the root of it all
I guess a shrink is going to do him more good than continually visiting different neurologists and having huge batteries of massively expensive tests, only to be told after some months there is nothing physically wrong with him, and then starting the whole process again.
Some prolonged work with a psychiatrist or psychologist would obviously be involved in getting to the bottom of it
