Hi my sister lori was diagnosed with conversion disorder. but she is having more symptoms now and usually that diagnosis would have to be from a traumatic event that caused her to be like that but really isn't showing any post traumatic stress.

Conversion disorder: Conversion disorder is unexplained, sudden onset of profound symptoms such as blindness, mutism, or paralysis- "La belle indifferecnce". The disorder has a lifetime prevalence of 30% and is five times more common in women and has an onset around 20. If you have doubts about your sisters diagnosis you should double check with her provider or get second opinion. HealthTap isgood for that.
