Extreme physical symptoms.  Diagnsoed with some conversion disorder.  Suggested phychiatric treatment.  Unable to get appointment with anyone.  Help
Patient: I am 42 years old and have been diagnosed with a unique type of conversion disorder.  I have had a MAJOR stress event in my life and have been trying to find a counselor, psychologist or psychiatrist to see me.  Everyone I have contacted do not have appointments until end of July.  Those I have spoken to say I am not "sick" enough or I am to complicated for their level of expertise.  I am have extreme physical symptoms and my neurologist states I need to get in with some ASAP.  I do not know what to do. Doctor: hi Tina, welcome to healthcare magic. i would like to know more about your symptoms, and what kind/subtype of convertion disorder you have been diagnosed with.for this condition you have to understand whats the primary gain/ secondary gain involved with the symptoms. and you have to learn coping up skills and relaxation techniques. consult your psychiatrist as soon as you can
