Conversion disorder was once viewed as a form of "hysteria," a term used in the past to describe a wide range of physical and emotional symptoms that were thought to be caused by a wandering uterus in women. This term has since been abandoned, but conversion disorder is still sometimes referred to as a "functional neurological symptom disorder." Dissociative identity disorder and dissociative fugue are both types of dissociative disorders, while hypochondriasis is now referred to as illness anxiety disorder.
