Abstract Background Patients present with ‘conversion disorder’ as a response to the underlying stressful situation. It is clinically important to evaluate the presence, type, and temporal relation of the stressors resulting in conversion. Further knowing the Socio-demographic and psychological profile of the conversion patient helps in better management. Aim To study the clinical presentations, Socio-demographic characteristics and underlying stressors associated with conversion disorder. Methods Fifty patients admitted to the department of psychiatry, NRI Medical College and Hospital, Vishakhapatnam, during January 2013 to December, 2014 who fulfilled the inclusion criteria of the study were evaluated for Socio-demographic characteristics, clinical presentations and stressor on a semi-structured proforma. Results Majority of the patients with conversion symptoms were children and young adults (74.0%), females (62.0%), students (46.0%), married (54.0%) and those from nuclear families (78.0%) and rural background (62.0%). Socioeconomic status wise, majority (66.0%) of the patients belonged to middle class. Majority of the patients (92.0%) had a recognizable precipitating factor, of which family-related/marital (36.0%) and education/school-related (18.0%) problems accounted for the major types. Purely motor symptoms were the predominant presentation (84.0%) with unresponsiveness /syncopal attack and pseudo seizure being the commonest. Conclusion Conversion disorders are commonly seen in females, children and young adults, students and in those belonged to middle class in socioeconomic status and rural areas. Underlying psycho-social stressors could be identified in majority of the cases of conversion disorder.
