Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Psychogenic disorders is another way of referring to conversion disorder. This disorder involves the presence of neurological symptoms that cannot be explained by a medical condition, and are instead thought to be caused by psychological stress or trauma. Somatic symptom disorder involves distressing physical symptoms that may or may not have an underlying medical cause. Factitious disorder involves intentionally fabricating or exaggerating symptoms for the purpose of assuming a sick role or receiving medical attention. Illness anxiety disorder involves excessive worry about having or developing a serious illness, despite little or no medical evidence of such. While these disorders may also have psychological components, conversion disorder is specifically referred to as a psychogenic disorder.
