Functional Impairment - What Is Functional Impaired?

The therapist treatment needs to be clearly indicated in that chart and especially for things like insurance companies. Functional impairment basically means taking a step further than the symptoms and considering how they're actually affecting that person in the real world. These elements are more, in some ways, more important than the symptoms themselves because we could have a very similar set of symptoms, but the impact on the client related to those symptoms could be very, very different.
