Hi. I am a 23 yr old female, and I have had a conversion disorder for one year now. Symptoms I have are: pseudoseizures, dizzy spells, involuntary yelling, odd behavior stemming from a lot of anxiety. My psychiatrist and psychologist were at a loss and didn't know how to help me. I have been hospitalized 3 times. My symptoms at times have lasted anywhere from a couple seconds to two weeks, with maybe 10 min. Of relief in each 24 hrs. I go through a week or two sometimes with really good, or really bad episodes.

My psychiatrist recently suggested hypnotherapy with a licensed psychologist/hypnotherapist. I have recently started the sessions. Recovery is supposed to be very promising along with counseling sessions from my other therapist. (i just asked my hypnotherapist today what the recovery time is with hypnosis –he said about 3 months. It's rough to have a disorder like this -i know, but you’ll get through this. I would suggest hypnotherapy. If I can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to email me. Hang in there :)
