What Are The Available Treatments For Conversion Disorder?
Hi, I live in a very rural area and haven t managed to acquire COMPLETE and satisfactory information pertaining to conversion disorder . I would like to be thoroughly informed about any and all information that is available. I was given a diagnosis of this way back in 1993, and I would think over this period of time, as with any medical event, that a better understanding of this disorder has been obtained. I have been diagnosed with other illnesses, as well, over the course of years. I have heard this and that (very brief comments) about conversion disorder. One is, Once you have it, always you have it. You just learn to live with it -- no cure. Please supply ANY information on conversion disorder. Thank you.
