After a huge argument with some family members, Gwen goes to bed. When she wakes up the next morning, she insists she cannot move her arms or legs. Several doctors are unable to find a physical cause for her paralysis. A psychiatrist would MOST likely classify this case as what type of disorder?

Gwen’s paralysis appears after an intense emotional conflict, but doctors find no physical cause. In the terminology used by this question, a physical symptom without an identified medical explanation is classified as a somatoform disorder. Impulse-control, developmental, and personality disorders do not best describe this pattern.
