1. conversion reaction

   Conversion disorder (CD), or functional neurologic symptom disorder, is a diagnostic category used in some psychiatric classification systems. It is sometimes applied to patients who present with neurological symptoms, such as numbness, blindness, paralysis, or fits, which are not consistent with a well-established organic cause, which cause significant distress, and can be traced back to a psychological trigger. It is thought that these symptoms arise in response to stressful situations affecting a patient's mental health or an ongoing mental health condition such as depression. Conversion disorder was retained in DSM-5, but given the subtitle functional neurological symptom disorder. The new criteria cover the same range of symptoms, but remove the requirements for a psychological stressor to be present and for feigning to be disproved. ICD-10 classifies conversion disorder as a dissociative disorder while DSM-IV classifies it as a somatoform disorder.

1. conversion reaction

   A conversion reaction, in the context of psychoanalysis, refers to a psychological condition where emotional stress and conflict are converted into physical symptoms such as pain, blindness, paralysis, or other neurological disorders with no identifiable physical cause. The symptoms and distress, often appearing suddenly, are real and not under the individual's conscious control, and can significantly affect daily functioning. In the field of chemistry, a conversion reaction refers to a chemical reaction where one specific type of compound, element, or molecule is transformed into another through a chemical process. The reactant is converted into a product under certain conditions such as temperature, pressure, or presence of a catalyst.
