Psychogenic Tremor

Psychogenic Tremor, also called hysterical tremor can occur at rest or during postural or kinetic movement.

The characteristics of this kind of tremor may vary but generally include sudden onset and remission, increased incidence with stress, change in tremor direction and/or body part affected, and greatly decreased or disappearing tremor activity when the patient is distracted. Many patients with psychogenic tremor have a conversion disorder.
