In most cases, the symptoms of conversion disorder do improve without any treatment; the best treatment is reassurance that the symptoms have no serious underlying pathology. If the symptoms do recur, then one may benefit from psychotherapy, physical therapy or use of medications. Many individuals with recurrent conversion disorder are treated with anti anxiety agents, sedatives or beta blocking drugs. In some cases, anti depressants have helped relieve the symptoms. There are reports that certain individuals may benefit from hypnosis and mind relaxing techniques. Recently, brain magnetic stimulation has been attempted in individuals with conversion disorder. The results so far are mediocre and not everyone responds to the treatment.
