When stress turns physical

Conversion disorder is a mental health condition where psychological distress manifests as physical symptoms like paralysis or blindness.

Imagine waking up one day, unable to move your arm, speak clearly, or even see, with medical tests revealing no physical cause for these symptoms. While this might sound abstract, it is a stark reality for those living with conversion disorder. Gaining a deeper understanding of this condition is vital—not just for those directly affected but also for their families and communities.
