Psychiatric treatment is recommended to help the person understand the underlying psychological conflict. The person needs to know there is no organic cause for the symptom. The integrity of the affected body part or function must be maintained until the conflict is resolved and the symptoms usually disappear. For example, paralyzed limbs must be exercised to avoid muscle wasting . Relief of the symptom occurs with effective treatment.
Complications can result from disuse of a body part or system.
