Description
Functional Movement Disorders addresses the challenges in the differential diagnosis of functional movement disorders (FMD). The authors discuss when to suspect a diagnosis of a specific FMD according to clinical features (tremor, dystonia, other hyperkinesia, etc.). They also cover how to support a diagnosis of FMD, based on positive and negative instrumental findings, how to deliver and explain a diagnosis of FMD and how to treat a patient with FMD based on clinical and psychiatric profile. This book is written for practitioners and therapists such as neurologists and psychiatrists who are involved in the diagnosis, diagnostic explanation and triage into treatment for patients with functional movement disorders.
