Understanding Functional Neurological Disorders
Exploring the complexities of Functional Neurological Disorders (FND) and the debate around early life trauma's role in its development. Emphasizing the need for individual-focused diagnosis and avoiding assumptions based on past trauma, the chapter highlights the evolving diagnostic guidelines for FND with a shift towards identifying positive typical findings instead of psychological links. Discussing challenges in diagnosing and treating FND, especially Psychogenic Non-Epileptic Attacks (PNAA), it underscores the importance of skilled evaluations and multidisciplinary care for improved patient outcomes.
