if you are recently dxd with DMD /conversion disorder then i strongly suggest you push for inpatient treatment as this is the only one recognised to work. it needs to start as soon after dx as is possible to have a good chance of recovery.

I have found that some doctors use the lable as a catch all, blaming every ailment i get on the dmd including a chest infection I had last year leaving it untreated for two weeks until i took myself to A&E (ER)! but for others it helps them for me to talk about how it affects me as they have not heard of it before so want to know more.

most of the time i am happy to meet any new healthcare workers or students to discuss my condition, though occasionally i feel like an experiment brought out from time to time to teach others, at which point i refuse! Luckily my social worker respects this, she does not push me to be probed and always asks the week before if i would mind a student sitting in.
