What is another word for conversion reaction?
Pronunciation: [kənvˈɜːʃən ɹɪˈakʃən] (IPA) 
There are several synonyms for the term "conversion reaction," a psychological disorder where a person experiences physical symptoms without any medical cause. One is "functional neurological disorder," which refers specifically to the manifestation of neurological symptoms without a medical explanation. "Psychogenic non-epileptic seizures" is another synonym, describing seizures that resemble epilepsy but do not have a neurological cause.
