Default Conversion or convenience?

Is it conversion disorder or is it a bunch of neuros who have no real evidence and who got together and decided to create a convenience disorder for themselves so anything a little more complicated might hopefully just have time to reallocate itself?!!!!

Here is a nice discussion. I wonder if anything has changed since 2010?

Take a look at what is happening other places ….Oh! - Yet another example of convenience disorder at work!.....

´A study shows 80% of MCS patients report no benefit from psychotherapy to cure MCS and 15% have reported further harm.58 Though 65% find psychotherapy helpful to cope with the dramatic life changes MCS bestows upon them, psychotherapy is obviously not a cure, as MCS is not a psychologically mediated disease.58 Further, psychiatric drugs such as Zoloft, Prozac, Elavil, and other antidepressants were reported to harm an average of 60% of those who tried them and had no effect on an additional 25%.58 Drugs such as Valium and Xanax proved to harm 45% and had no effect on an additional 30%.58 There is not a single empirical study that shows any significant remission rate in the symptoms of a cohort of environmental illness patients from counseling or psychiatric drug therapy´


Have a wonderful week.......
