According to the psychoanalytic theory, the brain involves the conscious, subconscious and unconscious mind. Through repression and hypnosis, the brain is able to help us hide our unpleasant thoughts in the unconscious mind.

With hypnosis, we retrieve our messages back to the conscious ind. Eventually, however painful repression and hypnosis bring about conversion disorder.

While according to hysteria learning theory, conversion disorder can also be linked to culture…Culture dipicts how people express their distress and portray how people behave when they are sick as well as how they adopt certain behavior. Therefore we learn how different people express distress and mimic them.

Biological theory explains the changes in the brain. The reason change occurs isn’t known because there are many chemicals in the brain. As a result of body and mind reactions, a disorder may occur.
