Conversion disorder is now partly contained under [[Functional neurologic disorder|functional neurological symptom disorder]] (FNsD). In cases of conversion disorder, there is a psychological stressor.

The diagnostic criteria for functional neurologic symptom disorder, as set out in DSM-5, are:

| The patient has at least one symptom of altered voluntary motor or sensory function.
| Clinical findings provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognised neurological or medical conditions.
| The symptom or deficit is not better explained by another medical or mental disorder.
| The symptom or deficit causes clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other important areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation.
