Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conversion disorder is a condition in which the person experiences physical symptoms that are not accounted for by a medical explanation. The symptoms are not intentionally produced, and the person is not malingering (intentionally faking symptoms for personal gain). The physical symptoms may appear suddenly and in response to a stressful situation, but they do not typically appear in a consistent or predictable pattern across different situations.
