Answer: What is unique about Jahir's case of conversion disorder is that this is <u>a psychological condition.</u>

Explanation:

It is a mental condition in which a person has blindness, paralysis or other symptoms of the nervous system (neurological) that cannot be explained by a medical evaluation. Conversion disorder symptoms may occur due to <em>psychological conflict.</em> Symptoms usually begin suddenly after a <em>stressful experience.</em>

People suffering from conversion disorder are not inventing the symptoms in order to obtain accommodation, for example<em> (simulating).</em> They either do not intentionally injure themselves or lie about their symptoms just to become a patient (factitious disorder). Some health care providers falsely believe that this disorder is not a real condition and can tell people that the whole problem is in their head. However, this condition is real. It causes anguish and cannot be controlled at will.

Psychotherapy and stress management training can help reduce symptoms. The affected part of the body or physical function may need physical therapy or occupational therapy until the symptoms disappear.
