Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conversion disorder is a condition in which a person experiences physical symptoms that have no underlying medical explanation. In this case, Greg's blindness has no known medical cause and therefore may be an example of conversion disorder. A, B, and D are not examples of conversion disorder as they all have some underlying physiological explanation for their sensations.
