‎CRRH conducted CLASS 3 of its Continuing Professional Development (CPD) series on 25 February 2026.

‎The session was delivered by Dr. Choten Gyeltshen, Psychiatrist, who spoke about Conversion Disorder — a condition in which emotional or psychological stress appears as physical symptoms such as weakness, difficulty walking, loss of sensation, or seizure-like episodes, even though no neurological disease is found.

‎Dr. Choten highlighted the following key points:

‎1. Recognizing different physical symptoms, including movement problems, sensory changes, and seizure-like episodes that are not caused by epilepsy.

‎2. Carefully distinguishing this condition from epilepsy and other disorders affecting the brain and nervous system.

‎3. Identifying stress related to personal, family, or work issues while ruling out medical causes.

‎4. The importance of counselling approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

‎5. Early recognition and support lead to better recovery and outcomes.

‎The CLASS CPD series is conducted in a hybrid format, allowing participants to attend both in person and online.
