10 Symptoms of Conversion Disorder

Symptom #4: Lose Sensations
We are able to easily touch and feel the world around us to give us all the information we need about objects. We can easily tell if something is hot or cold, for example, and such information can be extremely useful to us. If we touch something that is harmful to us, we know that we should pull our hand away immediately.
Patients with conversion disorder, however, can begin to lose such sensations. With no messages being sent to the brain about the sensations, the brain does not know what it is feeling. This can be potentially hazardous as we can end up coming into contact with dangerous items without realizing it.
