Hi, @Alvin2,

Like I said in my post, I think FND is a waste basket diagnosis that neurologist's assign to patients when they don't know what's wrong with a patient and lack the intellectual humility or skill to properly diagnose them.

So, in case it wasn't clear in my post, I agree with you, that FND is neurologist's modern-day equivalent of hysteria.
I re-read my post and i realize what i said could be interpreted as disagreeing with you which was not my intent.
BTW: I didn't see that referenced anywhere in the NIH write up.
I meant they as in the neurologists that led to me creating this thread. Again my mistake on not explaining myself well.
