Abstract EN
Conversion disorder is characterized by one or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory functions that cannot be explained by a neurological disease (Keynejad, 2019; Samuels et al., 2019).
We present a patient with conversion disorder and discuss her process in overcoming this disorder.
Additionally, we review the literature about this specific disorder.
A 15-year-old white female was diagnosed with conversion disorder and has shown significant recovery with physical therapy and group therapy since.
It is essential to recognize this disorder early to lessen the financial burden on families and to speed up the recovery process for these patients.
