Look to neurofeedback and qeeg imaging. Yes it is organic. it has do to with improper functional connectivity between structures. Yes psychological issues are organic also. Traumas will hyperconnect structures of the limbic system for instance. Physical traumas to the spine, subluxations, erc also can cause significant changes in brain function. Those structures are intimately connected to structures in involved with movement. You will not pick that up on a normal mri (functional MRIs will) pet scan etc. Yes you can make huge progress with neurofeedback once improper connectivity within the networks are identified and trained especially when other inflammatory factors such as autoimmunity have been addressed (ie functional medicine). Enough of this nonsense that we have no understanding. That is a disservice by your neurologist.
I ended up being diagnosed with dysautonomia and pots syndrome. Genetic test for ehlers Danlos can back positive too. You're very spot on about the autonomous nervous system.
@@MsGlass I just came to look for this because I have a neuromuscular autoimmune disease and I joined a support group where many members first received a "Conversion disorder" diagnosis while others who are still trying to figure out what's wrong with their bodies are still being dismissed with "Conversion disorder".
@@Sarablueunicorn it's unfortunate. I never was dx'd but I had 15 years of doctors basically saying I had somatic disorder. Even surving stage 3a cancer, broken back and recieving a positive genetics test for a connective tissue disorder they still tried to say my pain and symptoms were psychosomatic. Turns out, the it's not a somatic issue but autonomic nervous system issue. Conversion disorder is a fancy term for hysteria and doctors current lack of knowledge. There is a god complex with medical professionals and they don't work for the betterment of people, they work for ego & competition. There are 100% mental disorders and syndromes that do effect our physical state. The mind ispowerful. The problem is, when misdiagnosed, you're doing your patients more harm than good which is against the oath drs take.
"Conversion disorder" is the technical name doctors created for "I don't have a clue disorder". I have a rare neuromuscular autoimmune disorder and I joined a support group, for my surprise (actually not), many of the members first diagnosis was "Conversion disorder".
As unfortunately true as what you're saying is, the most conscientious way of putting it would be people experiencing some form of marginalization. So a woman in a strongly patriarchal society struggling with her husband, a child with an overbearing parent in a society that strong upholds obligation to parents, etc (I hope you can apply it to other situations like disability, mental illness, LGBTQ or poverty aka lack of financial independence).
Hey Sydney, I don't think that is what they were trying to say. Having lower IQ is one of the risk factors but does not mean you have to have low IQ if you have that disorder. An example: being African American or a smoker are both risk factors for having hypertension. That does not mean you have to be African American or have ever smoke to have hypertension, it just mean that those are risk factors. I hope that makes sense.
Ashton Randolph Things like this need to be made clear when educating people about a super misunderstood diagnosis. ESPECIALLY when you take on the role of an educator. It’s reckless and insensitive to the community of FND patients.
@@SydneyGuy It was pretty clear since he said "RISK FACTORS" if someone doesn't know the definition then that's their problem he doesn't need to clarify a definition of a word.
He's reading from a book or something. I've heard the same hacky list on other RU-vidrs describing this. I would focus on the trauma and integration issues not the loose terms to give practitioners a starting point.
