Abstract

Recently, some of the leading experts in the field of neurological disorders deemed psychogenic neurological disorders as a “crisis for neurology”.The significant number of patients presenting with psychogenic disorders, lack of definitive clinical or laboratory tests to establish the diagnosis, current lack of understanding about the exact nature of psychogenic disorders and poorly defined treatment options make psychogenic neurological disorders more important. Psychogenic neurological symptoms are deficits which cannot be explained by organic lesions in the nervous system and commonly associated with emotional “functional” disturbances. Several terms, such as “functional”, “psycho-genic”, “psychosomatic”, “non-organic”, “hysterical”, “CONVERSION DISORDER” or “dissociative motor disorder” are used to describe neurological symptoms unexplained by disease. 1–9% of neurological symptoms observed in the general population are CONVERSION DISORDER. In one series dividing medically unexplained symptoms into “absence of motor function” (48%) and “presence of abnormal motor activity”, (52%) had symptoms, such as tremor, dystonia or ataxia.The average age at onset is in the mid thirties.There is a clear predominance for the female gender in PT affecting. The majority (59%) of patients improved over a follow-up period of at least 3 years. Longer symptom duration, psychiatric co-morbidity, neurological comorbidity and poor social life perception were poor prognostic risk factors. There was a significant decline in the mean rate of misdiagnosis from the 1950s to the present day; 29% in the 1950s; 17% in the1960s; 4% in the 1970s; 4% in the 1980s; and 4% in the 1990s. This decline was independent of age, sex, and duration of symptom.
