Causes
Conversion disorder: Causes and incidence (Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition)) The patient suddenly develops the conversion symptom soon after experiencing a traumatic conflict that he believes he can’t handle. Two theories may explain why this occurs. According to the first, the patient achieves a “primary gain” when the symptom keeps a psychological conflict out of conscious awareness. For example, a person may experience blindness after witnessing a violent crime. The second theory suggests that the patient achieves “secondary gain” from the symptom by avoiding a traumatic activity. For example, a soldier may develop a “paralyzed” hand that prevents him from entering into combat. Conversion disorder can occur in either sex at any age. An uncommon disorder, it usually begins in adolescence or early adulthood.
