üleminekuhaigus

Üleminekuhaigus, also known as a conversion disorder or functional neurological symptom disorder, is a medical condition in which a person experiences physical symptoms that affect their motor or sensory functions, but without any underlying neurological or physical cause. These symptoms are not intentionally produced or feigned. They can range from paralysis and blindness to seizures and loss of sensation. The symptoms are often triggered by psychological stress or trauma, although the connection may not always be obvious to the individual.

The diagnosis of üleminekuhaigus is made by ruling out other medical conditions that could explain the symptoms. Medical professionals will conduct a thorough physical and neurological examination, and may order various tests to exclude other diseases. The symptoms themselves are real and can be distressing and disabling for the person experiencing them. It is important to note that the symptoms are not "all in their head" in the sense of being imaginary, but rather that psychological factors are influencing the body's function.

Treatment typically involves a multidisciplinary approach, often including psychotherapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or psychodynamic therapy, to help the individual identify and manage underlying psychological stressors. Physical therapy may also be beneficial in helping to regain lost function. Reassurance and education about the condition are also crucial components of management. With appropriate treatment, many individuals with üleminekuhaigus can experience significant improvement in their symptoms.
