Talk:Functional movement disorder

Needs rewriting

Low quality sources, based on a poor quality Wikipedia page which is dominated by Jon Stone's assertions (neurosymptoms.org is his website). Nothing here mentions misdiagnosis, or which symptoms also exist in ME/CFS. Eg the Canadian Consensus Criteria refers to De Becker's large study which found paralysis was a symptom of ME, although this was not included in the CCC. ~Njt (talk) 07:30, October 17, 2019 (EDT)

Source to add

This is a really important paper on FMD that would be good to incorporate: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mark_Edwards5/publication/221838616_Functional_(psychogenic)_movement_disorders_merging_mind_and_brain/links/54aa7d6a0cf25c4c472f25d7.pdf It argues that there is no evidence that FMD is caused by psychological trauma. Important to note that Charcot, who came up with the idea of FMD thought they were caused by "dynamic lesions" that current technology simply couldn't visualize or measure, not that they were psychogenic. Then came Freud... --JenB (talk) 11:15, 14 February 2016 (PST)

Wikipedia

I basically copy pasted the wikipedia article found here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_Neurological_Disorder

so improvements are doubtless needed.

I added in a bit from:

http://fndhope.org/resources/functional-terms-defined/

To the end of the summary section at top. Not sure how the References System works here: the Wikipedia References are still there though so they can be adapted to however it works here by someone who does.

Scientific sources

Do not use neurosymptoms.org - does not meet science guidelines. It is the personal website of Jon Stone and contains many unreferenced claims. It does not the MEpedia:Science guidelines. ~Njt (talk) 07:30, October 17, 2019 (EDT)

FMD/FND vs conversion disorder

They are the same thing, conversion disorder was renamed in the DSM-5 to Functional Neurological Symptom Disorder, which includes motor symptoms. ICD to DSM-5 crosswalk confirms this. ~Njt (talk) 07:30, October 17, 2019 (EDT)
