2. Conversion disorder is pretty rare.

Around 10 people in 100,000 are diagnosed each year. The ratio of women-to-men is about 2:1.

My sister had some non-epileptic seizures when she was a teenager in the 1980s. I don't recall if she was diagnosed with conversion disorder specifically, but her condition was understood to not be epilepsy-related. It was thought to have roots in a serious car accident that she'd been involved in.

Here's some info on PNES and CD, including information on treatment options, from Cleveland Clinic, one of the best hospitals in the US:
