Psychogenic sensory disorders, often referred to as psychogenic sensory disturbances or conversion disorders, are a subset of somatic symptom disorders characterized by the presence of sensory abnormalities without discernible organic pathology. These disturbances can manifest as altered perceptions of touch, pain, temperature, proprioception, or vision, among others. Here, we provide an overview of the key features, diagnostic challenges, and treatment approaches for psychogenic blindness. We discuss the complex interplay between psychological factors and sensory experiences, emphasizing the need for a holistic biopsychosocial approach to assessment and management. We also highlight the potential for symptom resolution through psychotherapy and other psychosocial interventions. The understanding and management of psychogenic sensory disorders continue to evolve, necessitating ongoing research to improve our knowledge and patient outcomes. Categories: Psychiatry |
