Persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is a functional neurological disorder characterized by troublesome feelings of dizziness and might be precipitated by vestibular events, postural changes, psychopathologies, and/or a person's perceptual experiences. The diagnosis is confirmed by assessing a patient's history. A variety of psychiatric symptoms are associated with PPPD; anxiety and depression are the most common. Psychotherapy and pharmacotherapy can be clinically helpful in reducing psychiatric symptoms and dizziness. Early intervention improves prognosis.

Children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may be more susceptible to early life stress compared to their neurotypical peers. This increased susceptibility may be linked to regionally-specific changes in the striatum and amygdala, brain regions sensitive to stress and critical for shaping maladaptive behavioural responses.
