Interesting paper- wow. My husband is now still undiagnosed after over 3 years and literally hundreds (no exaggeration) of scans, blood tests and hospital visits. The confused diagnoses have been far-ranging including some “possible” very rare form of MND or MMN. It’s been a lonely, long journey.

This approach may provide solace to others at the start of their journey. My husband’s “condition” has caused much head scratching amongst multiple neurologists; next step is IVIG. But after finding Dr Jane Pritchard at Charing Cross Hospital she is at last progressing some treatment.

We aim to provide a one stop shop for neuropsychological and psychological scientific, clinical, and policy references in FND, with a focus on the UK but with global relevance

The context is the problem of inadequate services for people with FND in the NHS, and globally - which is a key part of an historical iatrogenic cycle of lack of care and harm, despite this being the second commonest reason to see a neurologist

We mean this to be a resource for clinicians in the field, for managers building services, for dialogue with service commissioners and to inform national policy

We recognise that FND is a disorder of Brain Processing, with biopsychosocial components - treatable by various tools including psychological, physio, OT, SLT, and medical - we summarise theoretical models of psychological processes to target with psychological therapy tools

Evidence supports diverse psychological therapies, including CBT, Psychodynamic, and a broad range of techniques including mindfulness-based approaches and there is promise in innovative techniques - my own feeling is there is further potential to develop FND-specific therapies

We address issues in Functional Cognitive Disorder - esp use of Performance Validity Tests - not diagnostic, nor ruling out, but can be one example in Dx pattern of inconsistency - also issues of interpretation of PVTs - highly context dependent, and concept of 'effort' unhelpful
