Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conversion reaction, also known as conversion disorder, refers to a condition where a person's psychological distress is expressed as physical symptoms. These symptoms can include things like paralysis, blindness or deafness, and are not explained by any physical medical condition. The symptoms are thought to happen because the person's mind is unconsciously converting emotional stress or trauma into physical symptoms.
