Summary
Functional neurological movement disorders are common conditions that can lead to significant limitations in daily life. They result from a functional disorder in the brain. A clear, understandable, and empathetic explanation of the diagnosis is a crucial first step in treatment. The purpose of this clinical study is to investigate how a clear and detailed explanation of the diagnosis of functional neurological movement disorders affects patients' understanding of their condition and their symptoms The investigators are interested in how well patients understand the diagnosis and the symptoms they experience as the disease progresses, as well as how the conversation between patient and doctor is experienced from both perspectives. In addition, as part of the study, a one-time examination using brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging) will be conducted to better understand possible differences in brain function.
