General information, not an individual diagnosis. Ask a healthcare professional if you are unsure about your situation.
Functional neurological disorder can affect movement, sensation or speech. Symptoms are real and involuntary.
The neurologist looks for positive clinical signs. A normal MRI alone does not establish this diagnosis.
Tests may investigate other diseases according to the circumstances. Repeated investigations are not themselves treatment for this disorder.
Ask the neurologist which findings explain the diagnosis. Understanding how the disorder works forms part of care.
Rehabilitation may involve physiotherapy, speech therapy or psychomotor therapy. Goals should reflect your everyday difficulties.
Psychological or psychiatric support may complement care. This does not mean the symptoms are being deliberately produced.
