Conversion disorder in children is more common than most people think! However, not many parents know about conversion disorder unless their children are experiencing it. We are going to learn about conversion disorder in children and we have some key tips from our expert to help your child through this difficult challenge.
Conversion disorder is a type of disorder that can cause neurological symptoms or challenges that can not be explained by a physical injury, disease or illness. The symptoms can be serious and scary for the patient. They can experience temporary blindness, paralysis, ataxia, the loss of touch, the loss of being able to move extremities, the loss of voice, the loss of smell and so much more. In serious situations, a patient may experience hallucinations or even seizures!
WHAT CAUSES CONVERSION DISORDER?
It is unknown what causes Conversion Disorder but doctors have linked it with stress. Both physical stress and mental stress can be triggers that cause the symptoms of Conversion Disorder. We find patients with conversion disorder have a lot of of stress in their lives, whether it is a trauma that has happened to them or in their environment.
Some patients who have been diagnosed with Conversion Disorder have been found to have other neurological challenges. Symptoms can last a few weeks or much longer.
HOW TO HELP SOMEONE WITH CONVERSION DISORDER
As parents we can feel helpless when our child is suffering from Conversion Disorder. Conversion Disorder in children can be hard to watch and we want to help. Even with Covid 19 and the stressors it may cause in healthy patients, more and more children are dealing with Conversion Disorder.
We asked Dr. Stephanie Fumi Hancock, to give us some top tips on the best thing parents can do to to be proactive with their kid’s emotional health before Conversion Disorder symptoms can appear. Let’s help our children before it becomes a bigger problem!

DR. PRINCESS FUMI: CHANGING THE WORLD THROUGH STORYTELLING
Dr. Princess Fumi Stephanie, RN, DNP, who’s an African princess living in the diaspora, would no doubt be amongst the list of extraordinary women who have graced this earth. Dr. Fumi has touch lives in several ways, ranging from her amazing books, her lifestyle, her philanthropic works in Africa, her talk shows, to mention a few. She is a bestselling author, a NAFCA African Oscar and Indiefest Film Award Winner, an African Heritage Leadership Recipient, a TV personality, an international transformation interventionist and philanthropist, Psych-mental health nurse practitioner, TEDxTalk international speaker, the president of Princess of Suburbia (which is currently aired on ROKU and Comcast, Michigan), etc.
The impressive professional career of Princess Fumi has spanned nursing, women’s and behavioral health care, organizational leadership, communications, writing best-selling novels and award-winning screenplays, film production, ghostwriting autobiographies, transformational life coaching, and mentoring. Her entire life is a source of inspiration to not just women whose dreams have been suppressed by the norms of our society and gender inequality, but also everyone who wish to follow her footsteps.
While some people call her a social changer; others refer to her as a transformation catalyst whose aim is to extend the hand and heart of social justice. Due to her wordsmith prowess, and given the fact that she is a bestselling author, people also regard her as a story weaver who aims to merge the gap between Africa and America.
Dr. Hancock’s love for the literary arts and behavioral health sciences has forced her to strike an equilibrium between the two disciplines, via her TV/ radio shows, documentaries, feature films, books, including her wellness presentations. Presently, the well-known writer has about 24 books to her credit, with four of those 24 books becoming bestsellers. The Nigerian princess is indeed in love with her pen as she plans on releasing other books regarding personal and success development. Vision Torch, which was recently written by this bestselling author, has gained prominence in several organizations, ministries, and colleges, including countries such as the USA, Pakistan, etc.
When Dr. Hancock isn’t scribbling down an idea on a book or making movies, she is an in-demand international public speaker, (indoctrinated into the National speakers Bureau-USA), with appealing topics in fields such as health, wellness, self-help development, personal growth, and success. For two years, Princess Fumi worked as a columnist at The New American Times, Tennessee, where she wrote an article on “Mental Health in the Media,” which has been featured in several newspapers like the Tennessean Tribune, the Tennessean, etc.
Aside from being blessed with a supportive husband and four grown children, one of her greatest achievements is her philanthropic work in Africa ( The Princess of Suburbia foundation). Here is a woman who aims to make the world a better place by inspiring, motivating, empowering, and equipping others, by helping them to heal from past traumas, get on track with their true calling, and live a life of fulfillment.
I DID NOT CHOOSE NURSING BUT NURSING CHOSE ME! – My #LifeStory

I will be lying if I said I fell into #Nursing. As an #African #Princess, I have always found myself caring at a tender age. I just didn’t know it was nursing. When I would act a role or write a play when in grade school, it was always about me caring for someone. As a 14x #BestsellingAuthor, #NAFCA #AfricanOscar and #Indiefest #Film award winner, I wrote #lifestories which showed characters we are inclined to care for.
Today, as a #BoardCertified #Psychiatric #MentalHealth Dr. of #NursePractice, I serve the most vulnerable population on-site and via telepsychiatry. I am proud to be a #NURSE.
Watch this and be inspired by my story…. Why would an African Princess choose nursing as a career?

MY COME BACK STORY
I share my social proof today because, in spite of being a #BestsellingAuthor, #TEDxTalk Speaker and a Brand Connoisseur (the# PrincessofSuburbia(R)) who has helped literally thousands of women globally to push beyond their pain into recovery, I too suffered abuse. In spite of being raised in an African Royal Household, the #Adumori Royal Dynasty, I was not exempted from a disastrous marriage which almost took, my life!
