Functional seizures: An evaluation of the attitudes of general practitioners local to a tertiary neuroscience service in London.

Objective: Functional seizures are a common functional neurologic disorder. Given their chronic nature, and the biopsychosocial factors involved in their etiology, general practitioners (GPs) play a crucial role in the care of these patients. However, little is known about the attitudes of GPs toward, and knowledge of, functional seizures.
