Default How Common is "Conversion Disorder"-

After having many tests fr my strange 'neuro symptoms' (MRIs EEGs EMGs...all negative) for symptoms...specifically idiopathic myoclonus.brain zaps...before sleep-

I was wondering...If these could be some kind of "conversion disorder"-

I know it's rare-

Studied & read about it in college psych courses-

It's where unresolved "psychological conflicts"....are converted into physical symptoms---esp .."neurological"-!

Anyone know a person who had a 'conversion disorder'? If so---what were his/her symptoms---? Hope I can get some feedback on this-Thanks--Chris
