Expert Solution
Step 1

Blindness, paralysis, or other symptoms affecting the nervous system are all signs of conversion disorder. It cannot be attributed to a physical condition or injury alone. After a term of physical or mental suffering or psychological conflict, symptoms typically arise spontaneously. It is believed that conversion disorder results from the body's response to a stressful physical or emotional incident.
