In which age group conversion disorder is more seen?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Conversion disorder could be a disorder in which an individual encounters visual deficiencyloss of motion, or other symptoms influencing the nervous system that cannot be clarified exclusively by a physical sickness or damage

Symptoms ordinarily start abruptly after a period of emotional or physical trouble or mental conflict.

Conversion disorder is thought to be caused by the body’s response to a upsetting physical or emotional occasion.

Step 2

Conversion disease is likely to be caused by a combination of genes rather than by a single gene.

In the majority of situations, a single-family has only one member identified.

However, first-degree female relatives of someone with conversion disorder (sister, mother, or daughter) are thought to have a 14-fold increased risk of developing symptoms than other women in the general population.

This higher risk is most likely due to shared risk factors and environmental factors for the disorder's development.
