Take-home message:
1. #FND is a positive Dx with rule-in signs
2. Explain the symptoms to your patients to make them see&understand FND
3. Talk&listen to your patient! There are other FNDs (..PPPD) and other problems can be present (..pain), & include them in the treatment plan

Catatonia: can you recognize it? Great video and discussion on terminology and how psychiatrists and neurologists do not always clearly communicate. Dystonia, waxy flexibility, treat with benzos. The experts ⁦‪@movedisorder‬⁩ agreed we need to rethink this d/o. pic.twitter.com/aeKlKs2cgm
