In ICD-10, functional neurologic disorders are classified exclusively in the psychiatry section as dissociative (conversion) motor/seizure/sensory disorders (F44.4). ICD-10reflected the dominance of psychiatric models of these disorders in the 100 years since Breuer and Freud's conversion hypothesis of 1893.

Conversion disorder, also called functional neurological symptom disorder, is a medical problem involving the function of the nervous system; specifically, the brain and body's nerves are unable to send and receive signals properly.
In Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), the term “Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder” was added in parentheses after the DSM-IV term “Conversion Disorder.” In the DSM-5 Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), the terms are reversed so that Conversion Disorder is in parentheses. and patient community.
Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a medical condition in which there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system and how the brain and body sends and/or receives signals, rather than a structural disease process such as multiple sclerosis or stroke.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM R41. 81 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R41.
Functional Diagnostics and Testing provides an effective way for practitioners to identify the root cause of disease. This focus on cause over symptoms, combined with a Functional Medicine treatment approach that views the body as one integrated system, provides a personalized approach for optimal healthcare outcomes.
Testing and diagnosis usually involves a neurologist but may include a psychiatrist or other mental health professional. Your health care provider may use any of these terms: functional neurologic disorder (FND), functional neurological symptom disorder or an older term called conversion disorder.
Although distinct entities, there appears to be significant overlap with FND, fibromyalgia (FM) and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), particularly in the way patients describe subjective cognitive difficulties, perhaps underpinned by excessive attention towards the body, severe pain and fatigue [48].

When diagnosing conversion disorder, the DSM-5 warns that symptoms that can be explained by culturally sanctioned experiences or behaviors cannot be considered . The DSM-5 makes this distinction because several cultures acknowledge syndromes or health conditions that are very similar to conversion disorder. The prevalence of conversion disorder varies widely by culture. In Turkey, for example, the prevalence rate is estimated to be higher than 5%. In Italy, however, the rate is less than three tenths of a percent. Interestingly, the primary symptom of the disorder also varies by culture. Turkish patients are most likely to experience loss of consciousness. In Japan, however, nearly 40% of patients diagnosed with conversion disorder present with blindness or other visual disturbance. Nearly a quarter of patients experience paralysis. A Dutch study found that motor symptoms are most common among their conversion disorder patients. In Nigeria, patients diagnosed with conversion disorder almost always complain of sensory sensations, particularly the feeling of something crawling on their skin, or unexplained heat on their skin.. Patients in India, Nepal and Pakistan most commonly feel heat on the inside of their bodies (Brown & Lewis-Fernandez, 2011).
The DSM-5 is clear that although they are not required for diagnosis, patients often experience dissociative symptoms that begin around the onset of the episode. Often, patients behave as though they are not concerned about the physical symptoms they are experiencing, even when they are severe and debilitating.
Therefore, cultural sensitivity is an important component of diagnosis and treatment. Although no consensus exists regarding a specific treatment for conversion disorder, psychodynamic therapy and hypnosis tend to be most successful. Patients benefit from care that involves both psychiatric and physical care.
The symptoms must cause clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other areas of functioning. In contrast to factitious disorders and malingering, the physical symptoms are not under voluntary control. (apa, dsm-iv) Codes. F45 Somatoform disorders. F45.0 Somatization disorder.
