Medical illnesses that are difficult to diagnose (e.g. endocrinopathies, MD, occult neoplastic disorders) 2. Illness anxiety disorder in which there is no symptom, but only the fear. 3. Conversion disorder is acute and neurological, and the patient is not concerned about being ill (la belle indifference). 4. Body dysmorphic disorder. 5. Mood disorders (depression). 6. Anxiety disorders (panic). 7. Psychotic disorders. 8. Malingering and factitious disorders. Treatment • One physician …. scheduled visits • Patients can develop real physical illnesses • Psychotherapy: insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral, and group psychotherapy all can be helpful. Hypnosis is also helpful sometimes. See the note in the introduction about spiritual healers. • Medication can lead to abuse 2. Illness Anxiety Disorder • Persistent, excessive thoughts and feelings about having a serious physical illness; not reassured. Few or no somatic symptoms. Essential feature is preoccupation with being ill. It may be present with or without medical diagnoses. • Epidemiology: mostly unknown. • Etiology: similar to etiology of somatic symptom disorder. • Dx. the belief must last at least 6 months.

(conversion) •Usually occurs acutely after stress, then resolves within 2 weeks. The sx resemble neurological symptoms (either sensory, motor, seizure, or mixed ) Epidemiology: • paragraph in the introduction above taken from reference no. 1. • More in left side • Two to 10 times more common in females. • The onset is rare before 10 years of age or after 35 years of age. • Rural, little education, low IQ, those in low SES, and military personnel who have been exposed to combat situations. Etiology: • Previous experience (such as childhood abuse) is a predisposing factor, psychological or physical trauma is a precipitating factor, and special rewards for disability a perpetuating factor. • Brain-imaging studies have found hypometabolism of the dominant hemisphere and hypermetabolism of the nondominant hemisphere and have implicated impaired hemispheric communication in the cause of conversion disorder.
