November 2024
Article Synopsis
- Functional neurological disorder (FND) is frequently diagnosed in pediatric healthcare settings and presents with a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms.* -
- The DSM-V marks a significant change by recognizing FND as a rule-in diagnosis rather than just a diagnosis of exclusion, focusing on specific symptom presentations.* -
- This article is the first in a six-part series that will cover diagnostic criteria, risks, and prognostic factors of FND, introducing a case study for further exploration in future articles.*
Shared decision making honors patient autonomy and improves patient comprehension and therefore should be a part of every clinical decision a patient makes. Use of shared decision making in research informed consent conversations is more complicated due to diverse and potentially divergent investigator and patient interests, along with the presence of clinical equipoise. This article clarifies these different interests and discusses ways in which shared decision making can be applied in research.
