  • This study investigates the long-term outcome of conversion disorder in a pediatric cohort.

Purpose:

  • To determine the prognosis of conversion disorder in children.
  • To analyze the course of conversion symptoms in pediatric patients.
  • To identify factors associated with the outcome of conversion disorder.

Summary:

  • The study followed 35 children (ages 6-16) diagnosed with conversion disorder based on DSM-III-R criteria.
