Prof Alan Carson: Basing FND treatment on understanding mechanism

Functional neurological disorder or conversion disorders have traditionally been associated with aversive experiences particularly in childhood but is this true? What do we know about how these common but enigmatic conditions occur and does it tell us anything about treatment.

Really loved what you had to say. I have FND. So much of it made sense. Yes everyone is different, I was finally diagnosed with it after many many years of different types of symptoms until I eventually had heaps at the same time.
Thank you for so muck info. I will definitely be re watching this many times. If I ever end up with severe memory loss again & can’t remember I will have your & Dr Stones talks to go back on to re educate myself on FND as has been written down as must haves & also saved. Again Thank You

A very accessible and helpful summary!
Thank you for sharing. Understanding the mechanisms and results of treatment approaches as a patient of multidisciplinary FND treatment has really helped build my confidence in the approach (with a corresponding improvement in the condition).

Hi Allan thank you for your talk, I found it fascinating. You may not remember me but I remember you when you arrived at Rosslynlee Hospital (I was a secretary to Dr Idwal Evans, Eileen Hay) which must be 30+ years ago and this was your first post on graduating from Medical School. I know also that you worked at the Robert Fergusson Unit at the Royal Edinburgh Hospital. You have certainly enjoyed a successful career - congratulations.

This is pure quackery - history will not be kind to this nonsense. If only you didn’t actually have the power to actually influence the lives of these poor patients.
