Question

fter witnessing an accident that killed his daughter, George reports he is blind. Although he bumps into objects at home and elsewhere, he shows lack of concern about his blindness. Specialists have found nothing wrong with the structure or function of his eyes and an MRI reveals no evidence of brain damage. After holding a case conference, a team of professionals suggests that George be evaluated for ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

- Conversion disorder.

Explanation:

Conversion disorder is demonstrated as the mental condition in which the patient develops a neurological disorder in which the brain as well nerves of his/her body show disability to send or receive signals to the body appropriately and thus, they tend to show an inability to control their physical response or behavior.

As per the given description, George must be evaluated for 'conversion disorder' as he shows the signs of 'blindness' and neither the MRI could reveal its cause nor the physical examination showed any kind of structural or functional damage which implies that he might have got this neurological disorder. Therefore, 'conversion disorder' is the answer.
