Neurologic symptoms such as weakness or abnormal movements that are inconsistent and incongruent with neurologic disease can be described as functional, psychogenic, nonorganic, conversion, or dissociative symptoms. These symptoms often represent a clinical dilemma and a challenge for the clinician. This article provides practical advice on making an accurate diagnosis, options for explaining the diagnosis to the patient, and considering further treatment.
