psychiatryonline.org/doi/abs/10.1... Far from universal but in some FND cases anger is indeed a dominant emotion, not just outward, but also the frustration with the symptoms appears to be a critical perpetuating factor

Worth thinking about implicit and explicit (motor) self-efficacy, and how both can be reinforced therapeutically.

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti.... Can we predict which FND patients respond to treatment? Not really- my take- best to offer everyone a chance rather than make false assumptions

Interesting observations. Wonder if cerebral vasoconstriction could be related to functional vascular diseases such as Raynaud's syndrome, acrocyanosis and erythromelalgia. Much to learn.

The convention here is to say you are delighted to share a paper you’ve written. I'm not quite sure I can say that, but I will be pleased if this paper can further understandings of patient and social science perspectives around #pain and #FND. Look away now if health updates are not your thing 1/n

Interesting. If ketamine makes you ignore priors in a way similar to what is observed in schizophrenia, and FND is a problem of abnormally weighted priors and almost no one's seen FND in schizophrenia - has anyone tried ketamine for FND?

Lovely/comprehensive review of metacognition and functional neurological disorder; a condition that demands a metacognitive interpretation: doi.org/10.1093/brai... The emerging picture aligns with findings in psychopathology more broadly—metacognitive performance is often equivalent to controls.

We all know about inequalities in income & physical childcare but inequalities in cognitive load are often forgotten. This paper is on gender & the household, but there are many other cognitive load inequalities also in the office. Think of who does more mentorship link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Explaining functional symptoms well is essential. Demonstrating motor phenomena such as the Hoover sign is very helpful. But how do we explain sensory symptoms, which affect 4 in 5 patients with functional neurological disorder? (answer below, paper here: doi.org/10.1136/pn-2...) [1/3]

Couldn't find effect sizes in review but if changes are meaningful, it would be low-hanging fruit to test this in clinical populations.
