Many strengths came from Sacks unconvinced mind with the diagnosis of conversion disorder. One strength that surfaced was the revelation that “Christina had lost all sensory feedback about her joints and muscle tone and the position of her limbs” ( Bernstein 61). This means the reason Christina could not control her body was a biological malfunction that disconnected the neurons that sense movement sense to her brain. Another strength was the relation between this malfunction and a large dose of B6. “ These large doses- or even smaller doses taken over a long period of time- can damage sensory neurons” (Bernstein 61). This showcases how know there is evidence that B6 is linked to this malfunction. However, with all strengths comes weaknesses.
