8. Conversion Disorder
Conversion disorder is a condition where the patient experiences symptoms that are normally associated with neurological disorders. In this condition, however, there will be no neurological disorder apparent regardless of what symptoms the patient might have.
One such example of this is sight, and some patients can experience vision loss with no apparent damage to the eyes or any other part of the apparatus that allows us to see. The same can be said for hearing, and some patients can also experience paralysis of a limb. The symptoms are likely to become worse if and when the patient becomes stressed for any reason.
