D. Functional neurological symptom:


Conversion disorder, also called functional neurological symptom disorder,is defined as a
psychiatric illness in which a neurological or general medical condition cannot explain
symptoms and signs affecting voluntary motor or sensory function. Psychological factors,
such as conflicts or stress, are judged to be associated with the deficits.The term conversion
disorder was coined by Sigmund Freud, who hypothesized that the occurrence of specific
symptoms not explained by organic diseases reflects unconscious conflict.3 The word
conversion refers to substituting a somatic symptom for a repressed idea.


Common examples of conversion symptoms include blindness, paralysis, dystonia,
psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES), anesthesia, swallowing difficulties, motor tics,
difficulty walking, hallucinations, anesthesia, and dementia.5 In patients with conversion
disorder, these symptoms are not caused directly by a physiological effect; rather these
symptoms are caused by a psychological conflict. Patients diagnosed with conversion
disorder are not feigning the signs and symptoms. Despite the lack of a definitive organic
diagnosis, the patient’s distress is very real and the physical symptoms the patient is
experiencing cannot be controlled at will




A condition characterized by the person giving approximate answers, with clouding of
consciousness, frequently accompanied by hallucinations or other dissociative, somatoform
or conversion symptoms is
A. Ganser Syndrome
