Abstract:
Functional neurologic disorder (FND) is commonly encountered across outpatient and inpatient medical settings. Given the potential for a high burden of disability in some patients and mounting evidence for the efficacy of FND-specific multidisciplinary treatment services, expanding clinical services for this population is a necessity. In this perspective article, we discuss considerations for creating FND services, including the types of services that exist, how to start, how to identify appropriate referrals, and how to develop and monitor individualized treatment plans. In addition, we discuss how this effort can be done sustainably - balancing patient needs with limited healthcare resources.
