Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Armand's sudden blindness with no physical cause suggests a conversion disorder, which is a condition where physical symptoms arise from psychological distress. The fact that Armand is strangely unconcerned about his blindness supports this diagnosis. Somatization disorder involves multiple physical symptoms, while organic mental disorder involves brain damage or disease, and dissociative disorder involves disruptions in memory, awareness, or identity.
