Functional Neurological Disorder aka Dissociative neurological symptom disorder aka Conversion Disorder?

The latter has the following diagnostic criteria in DSM V:

  1. One or more symptoms of altered voluntary motor or sensory function.
  2. Clinical findings can provide evidence of incompatibility between the symptom and recognized neurological or medical conditions.
  3. Another medical or mental disorder does not better explain the symptom or deficit.
  4. The symptom or deficit results in clinically significant distress or impairment in social, occupational, or other vital areas of functioning or warrants medical evaluation.

We don’t seem to have a Lemmy community for any of these yet? True? Maybe we need to get together on ‘Diagnoses of exclusion’?

Ha. I didn’t know that about MS. That’s really interesting.
