My daughter 16 years old, diagnosed as conversion disorder / non epileptic disorder since sep 22. She is at present, having prodeb 20 mg twice daily. Other medicine serlift 50 mg, gabapentin etc are now stopped. She is better now compared to the situation on sept 22. Only issue is she become unconscious & re-gain within 30 seconds by own & this is happening daily. On regular basis, doing counselling through psychologist & psychiatrist. Need advise whether treatment is on right track.

1 important thing is not to give much attention to her when she gets unconscious. She is not doing her deliberately. But if our mind gets attention to anything like that, it will keep doing the same thing.

There specific methods to deal with conversion disorder. The role of family is very important. I hope the psychiatrist has explained how you people need to respond. The medicines will reduce the emotional component associated with the disorder. Finally it is addressing the conflicts and resolving the same. The child rather than speaking with clinical psychologist needs to be assessed by projective tests to find the areas of conflict and address the same. Good luck.
