________ is a major somatic symptom disorder that involves an actual physical disturbance, such as the inability to use a sensory organ or the complete or partial inability to move an arm or leg.
Joanna Q.
One relatively common disorder is a. conversion disorder. b. hypochondriasis. c. dissociative identity disorder. d. multiple personality disorder.
A woman comes to the doctor with a two-week history of complete paralysis of her left arm. She has had no injury to the extremity, and full neurological workup fails to demonstrate any underlying cause. She seems surprisingly unconcerned about the paralysis, and seems more worried about an argument she had one month ago in which she hit her daughter. Based on this information, the woman's most likely diagnosis is: (A) $\quad$ conversion disorder. (B) $\quad$ generalized anxiety disorder (C) $\quad$ illness anxiety disorder (D) $\quad$ histrionic personality disorder.
