Q. What are the long-term consequences of hysteria ?
A Child with hysteria has to learn a lot. Conversion disorders can lead to long term disturbances like chronic maladaptive behaviour. As adults these individuals may like to flirt, are vivacious but frigid. They may get into lot of conflict with people. They would always be attention seeking and may even be sort of an exhibitionist. They would have essentially interpersonal difficulties, would not be able to stick to a single job. In the extreme case, they may even develop schizophrenia.

Q. How do I know whether a child has hysteria or she is just faking her symptoms ?
Faking is not hysteria. Hysteria is a true psychiatric disorder. PERSON DOES NOT DO IT VOLUNTARILY. When a person is faking a symptom knowingly, it is called malingering.
