Is Conversion Disorder Curable?

My daughter is 12 years old. Last one & half years she has been suffering from a mental disorder called Conversion disorder. She can't control her anger and starts hurting herself by pinching her face & pulling her hair and then starts tremoring losing her sense. But a few minutes later she regains her sense. It occurs frequently while she is not sleeping. Now she is taking anti depressant and propranolol. Will it be cured or not? Would you please suggest me anything good to save her life?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I think you know about conversion disorder and did some research about it and gained knowledge about it. Your daughter is entering adolescent period and for some, it may be depressive and irritant. Such younsters may show some erratic behavior. There is nothing to worry. Proper treatment can cure her within a maximum or one year. Work with her psychiatrist and also ensure she gets Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

If you still need my help, please describe the whole problem in detail and post a direct question to me. I shall definitely help you with psychotherapy techniques to over come your problems.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
