Guys, this does NOT look like malingering! this is a clear-cut case of conversion disorder.
Yea, but the option is the conversion reaction not disorder, which is not a diagnosis...

isnt malingering for some tangible gain, i dont see a tangible gain here. 2nd malingering have more subjective symptoms, sort of non specific. this q is troublesome as the only other option is conversion disorder which is not given is conversion reaction same as conversion disorder

I think this is malingering. Because in conversion disorder, there should be one or more neurologic symotoms like blindness, paralysis.

MALINGERING
(conversion disorder) NOT JERKS --- involves the involuntary loss of one or more bodily functions - blindness, paralysis, or the inability to speak. Diagnostic testing does not show a physical cause for the dysfunction.
