Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Medically Unexplained Symptoms

Event Information

Join us for the West Midlands Division Spring Conference.

This online event will focus on exploring Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and Medically Unexplained Symptoms.

We will delve into the complexities of FND, including its mimics and chameleons, and the borderzones of the FND concept. The conference will feature discussions on the rise of the FND concept, the misdiagnosis of FND in neurological disorders and psychiatric disorders with case examples. Additionally, we will explore its overlap with complex somatic symptoms.

We will also discuss the latest research and approaches to managing medically unexplained symptoms, providing a comprehensive understanding of these conditions.
