Functional neurological disorders (FND) is a diagnostic term for the various ways individuals experience abnormalities of nervous system functioning. This UK study aims to establish the incidence and long term outcomes for children and young adults. 124 individuals met the study criteria. The most common presentations were seizures, sensory loss and motor symptoms. The study found the incidence of FND is higher than previously recorded and can have long term implications.
