Conversion Disorder treatment in Miguel Hidalgo

Conversion disorder is a condition in which the person has real physical symptoms, such as weakness or changes in movement or the senses, that are not explained by an identifiable organic damage and are related to emotional or stress-related factors. The symptoms are not faked: the person truly experiences them.

Common symptoms: Weakness or paralysis, tremors, difficulty walking, changes in vision or speech, among others, which may appear suddenly.

When to seek guidance? When neurological symptoms arise without a clear physical cause, an evaluation is advisable to rule out other conditions.

Which specialist treats it? The neurologist usually takes part to rule out organic causes, while the psychologist or psychoanalyst addresses the emotional component. Approaching it with professionals, from a perspective that unites the physical and the emotional, is the most appropriate way to understand what is happening.
