== Diagnostic Criteria from DSM-5 == Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder was added to the DSM-5 to replace the term Conversion Disorder. There are two subcategories of Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder, those with a psychological stressor and those without. Functional Neurological Disorder is the widely accepted term for those without, while Conversion Disorder refers to those with a psychological stressor. However, some doctors are advising the discontinuation of the term 'Conversion Disorder' entirely. The diagnostic criteria for Functional Neurological Disorder is: A. The patient has β₯1 symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function. B. Clinical findings provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognised neurological or medical conditions. C. The symptom or deficit is not better explained by another medical or mental disorder. D. The symptom or deficit causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation. '''Specify type of symptom or deficit as:''' * With weakness or paralysis * With abnormal movement (e.g., tremor, dystonic movement, myoclonus, gait disorder) * With swallowing symptoms * With speech symptoms (e.g., dysphonia, slurred speech) * With attacks or seizures * With anaesthesia or memory loss * With special sensory symptom (e.g., visual, olfactory,or hearing disturbance) * With mixed symptoms. '''Specify if:''' * Acute episode: symptoms present for less than 6 months * Persistent: symptoms present for 6 months or more.<ref>{{Citation | url = http://bestpractice.bmj.com/best-practice/monograph/989/diagnosis/criteria.html | title = Conversion and somatic symptom disorders | date = | access-date = November 25, 2015 | website = | publisher = | last = | first = }}</ref> '''Specify if:''' * Psychological Stressor * No Psychological Stressor
