Functional neurological disorder in children and young people: Incidence, clinical features, and prognosis.

Aim: To report incidence, demographic and clinical characteristics, and symptom outcome of functional neurological disorder (FND) in children.

Method: Children diagnosed with FND at a regional children's hospital were prospectively recruited by weekly active surveillance for 36 months. Demographic, clinical, and follow-up data were retrospectively extracted by review of electronic records.

Stimulant and non-stimulant drug therapy for people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and epilepsy.

Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can co-occur in up to 40% of people with epilepsy. There is debate about the efficacy and tolerability of stimulant and non-stimulant drugs used to treat people with ADHD and co-occurring epilepsy.

Objectives: To assess the effect of stimulant and non-stimulant drugs on children and adults with ADHD and co-occurring epilepsy in terms of seizure frequency and drug withdrawal rates (primary objectives), as well as seizure severity, ADHD symptoms, cognitive state, general behaviour, quality of life, and adverse effects profile (secondary objectives).
