Question: 1 / 400

Which of the following symptoms is NOT a subtype of Conversion Disorder?

Weakness/paralysis

Seizures/attacks

Anxiety attacks

In Conversion Disorder, symptoms manifest as neurological issues that cannot be traced back to a medical explanation. These symptoms often reflect psychological stress or trauma. The recognized subtypes of Conversion Disorder include weakness or paralysis, seizures or attacks (often resembling epileptic seizures but without the underlying neurological condition), and abnormal movements such as tremors or gait abnormalities.

Anxiety attacks, while they can occur in conjunction with Conversion Disorder, do not fall under its specific subtypes. Anxiety attacks are categorized under anxiety disorders, separate from Conversion Disorder. Therefore, the identification of anxiety attacks as not being a subtype is accurate, as they represent a different set of symptoms and diagnostic criteria distinct from the neurological and physical manifestations seen in Conversion Disorder.
