<P> In excluding neurological disease , the neurologist has traditionally relied partly on the presence of positive signs of conversion disorder , i.e. certain aspects of the presentation that were thought to be rare in neurological disease but common in conversion . The validity of many of these signs has been questioned , however , by a study showing that they also occur in neurological disease . One such symptom , for example , is la belle indifférence , described in DSM - IV as `` a relative lack of concern about the nature or implications of the symptoms '' . In a later study , no evidence was found that patients with functional symptoms are any more likely to exhibit this than patients with a confirmed organic disease . In DSM - V , la belle indifférence was removed as a diagnostic criteria . </P>
