What Is a Movement Disorder (Psychogenic Movement)?
Psychogenic movement is an unwanted muscle movement such as a spasm or tremor that is caused by an underlying psychological condition. Psychogenic movement can involve any part of the body and resembles the same muscle movements that occur with a biological condition or structural abnormality.
Most psychogenic movement is involuntary — done without being consciously initiated by the individual. Psychogenic movement may develop as part of a conversion disorder in which a psychological event causes physical symptoms with no known medical cause.
